Have always loved Em as a nickname but not a massive fan of Emily/Emma. Does anyone have any suggestions?Smile

I can only think of Emerson or Emory. You’re right though, Em is lovely on its own.

A name beginning with M? Just a thought.

A name beginning with m. DH name starts with m and I call him Em or Emmy.

Pineapplefish · 06/07/2019 09:49

Thinking outside the box - you could go for a name beginning with M (there are some lovely ones - Molly, Miriam, Marissa, Martha) and call her Em for short?

Emmot is an old petname of Emma

Emmylou

Or you could go with Emme - pronounced just like Em. Downside, everyone will thinks she's an Emma and you/she will be correcting people all the time.
