Page 4 | Full name for Emmy

Sept2024 · 2024-09-04T06:24:34+00:00

7 months pregnant wirh baby girl. my partner and i have named our baby girl Emmy, thinking her full name will be Clementine. ive had feedback from others though that clementine is just a tad too unique (i dont mind feedback!). Wondering if anyone can think of another full name for Emmy that isnt Emily, Emma, Emmerson or Emmeline? fhanks!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I wonder if we made her full name just “Emmy” but spelt it like “Emme”

You are going to call her Emmy.

Put Emmy on the BC.

Use the spelling Emmy.

You do not need to complicate her name.

Emmeline.

Thanks so much for all your great suggestions. It’s a long story as to how we got to Clementine. I love the name but I also am called Briana which is shortened to Bree a lot so as context I’m basically worried we’d have too many foodie names in the family!

and the nickname Emmy just stuck somehow over the last few months so we know that is probably to be her name really. Just that my husband LOVES the name Clementine.

i think leaving it short and simple is also a good idea. I wonder if we made her full name just “Emmy” but spelt it like “Emme” that sounds less nickname-y to me but people might read it as just “Em”

Edited

I'd definitely read 'Emme' as 'Em.

make all your lives easier and just name the baby Emmy, if that's the name you want to use. Sounds so complicated otherwise.

Emma, Emily, or Emmeline. Not Clementine.

FayCarew · 04/09/2024 09:01

Look for a name that starts with Em e.g. Emerald
Browse Names - Behind the Name

Clementine -> Emmy is too much of a stretch. She might decide she prefers Clemmie or Tina or something. As pp a known by name that starts with a different letter is a pain.

You could just call her Emmy, but it'll blend in to all the Ellies.

Don't like Clementine very much. Or many of the others. Emilia is nice though.

Emmeline?

Clementine is very unpleasant sounding. Weirdly mucusy, and puts me in mind of the awful Clementine Ford and her swivel-eyed fascist ranting.

Totally agree

Emmeline is much nicer

Emerson.

Aglassaday · 04/09/2024 08:44

I’ve come across a few Clementines (work with children) with the oldest being 16 and youngest maybe 3 and each time it’s suited her so much. I definitely don’t think it’s too unique

Myneighboursnorlax · 04/09/2024 08:37

At a push, any name which begins with M could be shortened to Em, and then get Emmy from there…

Alongthepineconetrail · 04/09/2024 08:35

Emmeline
Emilia
Emma

TheCultureHusks · 04/09/2024 08:33

I’m not keen on clementine - and agree she’ll end up as Clem or Clemmie.

I’d go for Emma or Emilia.

Ardrahan · 04/09/2024 08:29

I don’t think you can impose a nickname, especially if it sounds quite different to, and begins with a different sound to p, the full name. I agree it’s quite likely your daughter would call herself and be widely known as ‘Clemmie’, and that if you don’t like this, you should call her Emily, Emilia, Emmeline, Emma etc. Our cleaner is ‘Emelie’, which is pretty.

I’m not wild about either Clementine (which just sets the song about death and drowning and size nine feet off in my head) or Clemmie. I think that ‘Cl’ suggests too many words like ‘claggy’ or ‘clammy’, or ‘clamped’ or ‘clemmed’?

LondonGrimmer · 04/09/2024 08:18

Emmalina

Agree with others though re choosing a name YOU love, and that Clementine will get shortened to Clemmie/Clemmy.

Dontcallmescarface · 04/09/2024 08:15

If you like the name "Emmy" then just have that. Why think of a name that fits with the name you actually want to use?

Stuckonanothertrain · 04/09/2024 08:08

We have an Emilia who goes by Emmy or Millie or now (just started Secondary School) by Emilia... I do think it's a great name for various nicknames.

I didn't really know of Emmeline at the time but think it's beautiful too and a great option.

icebearforpresident · 04/09/2024 08:06

I have a (very distant) cousin called Ember!

If you love Emmy and plan to call her that why does it need to be short for anything? Emmy is a name in it’s own right, I know a few. When I was pregnant we considered Beth but it was only ever going to be Beth and not short for Elizabeth.

Feliciacat · 04/09/2024 08:01

If you don’t mind being alternative then Emmy can be short for Ember. I guess that’s even more unique than Clementine though!

I agree with others that Clementine will become Clemmy, not Emmy. If you’re set on Emmy I’d say to call her Emmy or something beginning with Em. I think Emilia is nice. So is Clementine if you don’t mind her being called Clem or Clemmy.

ManhattanPopcorn · 04/09/2024 07:54

Clementines friends will call her Clemmy, not Emmy.

IrisApfel · 04/09/2024 07:53

If she's going to be known as Emmy why bother worrying about Clementine and just call her Emmy.
DC1 25 has a friend called Emmie, it's served her pretty well so far.

LovelyDaaling · 04/09/2024 07:48

Clementine makes me think of oranges. Sorry.

pinkfleece · 04/09/2024 07:46

Having a nickname that doesn't begin with the same letter as your first name is a pain as an adult. This isn't really the time to show how clever and unique you are ..

PurpleChrayn · 04/09/2024 07:44

Emmeline?
