Have always loved Em as a nickname but not a massive fan of Emily/Emma. Does anyone have any suggestions?Smile

My Gran had a friend called Emmy, which I personally thought was lovely.

I know a Charlie Emma Smile I don't usually like double barrel names but really suits her

Pineapplefish · 06/07/2019 09:49

Thinking outside the box - you could go for a name beginning with M (there are some lovely ones - Molly, Miriam, Marissa, Martha) and call her Em for short?

GlamGiraffe · 06/07/2019 09:48

A name beginning with m. DH name starts with m and I call him Em or Emmy.

A name beginning with M? Just a thought.

SeaViewBliss · 06/07/2019 09:45

I can only think of Emerson or Emory. You’re right though, Em is lovely on its own.
