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

My dd has a name beginning with M and I call her Em or Ems

EdtheBear · 07/07/2019 01:52

Elizabeth Mary
Ella May.

I'd look for any E name and any M middle name. Gives you lots of scope.

Onesailwait · 07/07/2019 01:53

I have an Emily, we call her Em or Emmy. Only Emily when she's in trouble!. It's a really lovely nickname

Tavannach · 07/07/2019 01:54

Emerald's fabulous.

Onesailwait · 07/07/2019 01:55

Oh shitt sorry I missed the part where you didn't Emily. I wasn't much out there at all!😁

devilishlygood · 07/07/2019 06:23

@SuddenBeetE

Funny, my great grandmother was also Evelyn and we always called her Little Em (she wanted to be Emma, apparently)!!! Lived to 101, she was a firecracker! Refused to be ‘Granny’ or ‘Nanna’ or any pet name...!! 😂

Nquartz · 07/07/2019 06:37

Word of caution with emilia, I know one and she's been nicknamed by friends as Milly or Milmils
