Hi everyone!
I’m a FTM due my little girl in July, currently 29 weeks. For the first few months me and DH couldn’t agree on any names - we both like Evie for a while, but that didn’t last long!

I then suggested Saffie which we both REALLY liked, and decided that was THE name... but last few days I’m having doubts!

I know it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. But I keep thinking of other people’s opinions, and can’t see anyone liking it very much! What do you think?? Is it a nice name, or am I being silly?!

I love Emmie, but DH not keen at all. Should I try and convince him, stick with Saffie, or give up on both and try something else?! 😂

Middle name will be Rae, as that’s my sisters name 😊 x

I prefer Emmie of the 2. I disagree with most others regarding the nickname thing, I think both can be names on their own right as well as being nicknames. I don’t believe you have to choose a longer version for birth certificate of she’s always going to be known by the ‘nickname’ version anyway. You’ll never please everyone and always get a mixed response as personal taste is so subjective. I do think Emmie may be easier to wear as an adult which is definitely something to consider, how things feel on a grown up as well as a cute little one.

Neither. They are both diminutives. Emma or Saffron are both nice.

Saffron is nice. Saffie is a nickname. Emmie is also a nickname - Emeline?

Stick with Saffie.

Or consider Emma. Emmie is a nickname for a young child.

So you don’t want any opinions about the names themselves, OP - have I got that right?
