What do you think (as a full name, not a nn or short for anything else)?

Just to clarify, when I say I don't like it, I mean as a full name! It's a lovely nickname. (And it's your baby!)

You could use Imogen too but may need to spell the nb Immy. I agree Emmy as a stand alone name is a bit weak. I wouldn’t like to be named it myself.

Don’t like it as a stand-alone name. Fine if short for Emma, Emily or Emmeline.

Emilia is another alternative and is imo prettier than Emily or Emma.

Yes, Emilia is nice. My main issue with Emilia is that it’s pronounced the same as Amelia, but if you’re shortening it to Emmy it’s less of a problem.

The child I know named Emilia is not pronounced Amelia.
