Could Jemima be nicknamed Emmie? If not, what could I use. Not keen on 'Jem' . . . . . . .

I would also think Mimi

Mima, Mouse, Gem/Jem?

Mybabystolemysanity · 16/01/2018 21:32

Ignore the last one! Sorry!

SuperBeagle · 16/01/2018 21:32

I know two. One is called "Mima" and one is called "Jim/Jimmy".

I think Emmie is a bit contrived.

SaigonSaigon · 16/01/2018 21:32

I never fail to understand why parents to be think of a name then have to have a nickname straight away. If you don't like the name enough to use it as it is have another name instead Confused

....double negative

I've met a lovely Mima (pronounced My-ma), although I think it was mostly family and close friends who use this nn, everyone else calls her Jemima

Mimes

MammieBear · 17/01/2018 19:26

Of course Emmie could be used, usually for jemima you can use: mimi, mimes, jem, jemma, jemsy or even mia but may I suggest you let it happen naturally, also once in school you have no say what's used really by other children of course, teachers you do!

Nicknames tend to be onsure and not related to their names - so anything you like
