Me again! Emilia nn Emmie or Daisy? Put off Daisy with the twee comments but still can't discard it 🤷🏼‍♀️🥰

Emilia is such a mouthful. Also agree with pp about the "mealy" sound being very unattractive. Like mealworm.

Daisy, by a mile.

Daisy

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/10/2020 20:55

I like Daisy.

Ellmau · 02/10/2020 20:53

I prefer Emilia.

Why not go wild and join them to make Emilaisy

Daisy by a mile

Daisy! Love it

Is not I'd.

Daisy🌼

Daisy is fine. Emilia has the awful 'mealy' sound. 'Eh mealy a.' Mealy I'd a dreadfully ugly word, so im afraid I loathe the name.

Emilia.

Daisy. Don't listen to the "twee" comments. Mine is mid-20s, an edgy, tattooed, confident woman with no hint of twee about her and she totally suits her name!

So there! Wink

Emilia is gorgeous.

Daisy really is twee. It's nice on toddlers and terriers, not so much on an adult woman.

Both are lovely names. What's the surname? Sometimes that helps, particularly dependent on syllables.
I personally prefer the Amelia spelling to Emilia but Emmie is cute as a nn.

RedMarauder · 02/10/2020 20:07

Both very common names for girls at the moment.

I know plenty of both and related to girls with both names.

Thistlegirl4 · 02/10/2020 20:02

Emilia all the way. Not a fan of Daisy
