Emmy and Immy - ridiculous?!

Dd1 has the nickname Immy. We love a name for Dd2 due in 2 weeks that would only have the nickname Emmy. There's no other name we like, but do the two together sound ridiculous?! Hoping you say otherwise but I don't think you will!

Not only ridiculous but confusing. Plenty of accents would end up sounding identical.

Ahh just go for it! I think they're really cute together!

I knew a lady who called her daughter Emma and she's Hebrew and their word for Mum sounds like Eema (like Emma but with a long ee sound) and it was so cute!!

It's okay to get opinions but in the end.. Go with what you like because there will always be people who disagree... I also know brothers called Ash and Ish!

And there are triplets on Instagram called Niya, Nilah and Nayla (something like that) which I think is super cute!!

Have fun with your new little bundle of love Grin

Why would you pick a name that you say is a mouthful? Just pick a name you love without having to use an abbreviation and if you must abbreviate, keep it to 'Em' or something else.

They sound silly together.

But you don't have to call DD2 Emmy as a nickname. If it's Emily, she may just want to be Emily or Em, or even Milly.
