Emelia is much nicer in my opinion. I love Emily too.

My DD’s friend is Emilia - I think it’s lovely, but due to the prevailing popularity of Amelia, it’s constantly assumed to be Amelia and written wrongly. Something to think about if that would pee you off (it would me!!)

@JulesM73 I love Emmy but I think it's too much of a nickname and maybe not as good for when she is older.

@Thisusernameistakenagain it would be Emilia not Emelia.

Both are lovely, I lean slightly toward Emmeline.

Emmeline

I have an emmeline in one of my sixth form classes. I'm not sure if it's because I'm dyslexic or just rubbish at pronunciation, but I keep accidentally calling her Emeelien.

Prefer Emmeline, beautiful name.

Nicknames are often organic developments IME :)
Prefer emmeline. Emelia will get mispelt as Amelia all the time and it reads a bit like a disease

JulesM73 · 21/12/2020 12:26

Why not just call her Emmy?

bridgetreilly · 21/12/2020 12:26

Emmeline

DramaAlpaca · 21/12/2020 12:22

Emmeline for me.

Emilia for me, Emmeline is lovely too but I believe it has pronunciation issues and is often misheard as Emily. X
