Maisie or Emmie?

[Sammy999]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to drop any day but cannot decide what to call our little girl, it seems such an important decision...

I would really appreciate your comments in relation to the following two options that my partner and I have come up with:

1. Emmie Rose
2. Maisie Rose

Thank you x :-) x

Dr Emmie Blah... not sure.
Dr Maisie Surname... maybe.

I think Emmie looks v.odd. I suppose I've never heard anyone called that. I think I would wonder if I'd misheard you say Emma or Emily. Perhaps it's the ie that looks wrong? Maybe Emmy is better - but then it looks like the tv awards thing.

Hmmm. Go with Maisie - it seems more like a real name.

Maisie and Emmie sound like dolls or toddlers - no offence but what about when she is a grown woman? holding down a professional job?
both of these names would sound kind of wet and sickly sweet in later life.

Maisie is lovely.

I'm currently in labour with my Emmeline, so Emmy definitely gets my vote!

Sorry Emmie!

I was going to suggest Emmeline too if you like Emmie. I have an Emily who calls herself Emmy (aged 2).

Good luck volvo, hope labour isn't too long for you!

Emmeline is gorgeous!

Good luck Volvo! Hope you are well on your way or maybe even snuggling up to a lovely newborn! :)
February babies are lovely I was where you are 3 years ago tomorrow. It goes so quickly!

We have a Maisie, its a lovely name But Emmie goes better with Rose.

Dr Maisie...
Judge Maisie....
Prime minister Maisie....

That's my test and I'm not feeling it, I agree that it's a babyish name.

Emmie short for Emmeline much better.

Good luck volvo hope all going well! We have an Emmeline, but I have to warn you that if you intend to use the full name, you/she will continually be correcting for "Emily" - something which drives me potty! The name regularly gets mispronounced too - (the "line" as in straight line). Only choose it if you love it and happy to continually correct. If you're going to use Emmy/Emmie (like the OP) on a day to day basis, I guess it doesn't really matter though!
Hope all progresses quickly for you!
OP, I definitely agree that Emmie is not a strong enough stand alone name for an adult/teenager with attitude though!

Our dd2 is going to be Emilia nn Emmie

Emmie for the reason that I know the most amazing one.

I've got an Emme, and have had none of the issues that everyone seems to come up with :) No one's ever mis-pronounced it, or thought that her name was 'Emma' either.
So obviously I'm biased towards Emme Rose - its gorgeous!
