How to pronounce this name- settle a debate!

[neverknowingwhy]

Please help me settle a debate with DP

How would you pronounce this nickname:
Emme

Thank you!!

It depends what or is a nickname from.

I would have said Em-ee, but if it is shortened from say Emmeline then I would say it Em or Emma depending on how you pronounce the full name.

Em-eh

Em.
So that's how I would spell it

If you want Emmy then you need Emmy, or Emmie.
People will also read it as Emma with a typo.

If its a nick name (i.e. a created name) why would anyone choosee a spelling that is unclear?

Those letters : emme in english would surely be pronounced em. But if I was told parents had nucknamed their child "Emme" I would have to ask how it was pronounced (and why they'd done it ...)

Em

Em-ee, according to › pronounce › emme
I'd have said Em.

Emmie/Emmy is a name in its own right these days

I guess Emme sounds like that

Surely nicknames evolve verbally first, so it’s a question of deciding how to spell whatever the nickname is after you find yourself using it? So if child’s name is Emily and you’ve started calling her Em as a nickname and now need to write it down, why would you add an extraneous ‘me’ at the end when writing it down?

Isn't it the German version of Emma? I would say Emma. I would assume of it was to be pronounced "Em-mee" it would be spelled Emmie or Emmy.

M

Same name as Jennifer Lopez' daughter ask her

I would pronounce it Em - ee

I'd say Em

Em-ee would be spelt Emmie or Emmy I think

I'd guess Emma but with an e sound, not an a. So, like someone with a strong regional accent was saying Emma.
'Em-meh, get yer backside dahn 'ere!'

I would assume short for Emmeline and therefore Emme.

Does it really matter how a nickname is spelled, though?

Thanks for all the replies!
The nickname is Em-me which I think should be spelt Emmy or Emmie. DP wants to spell it Emme which I think would just get confused with Em all the time (like Anne is An not Annee).
We agreed to throw it out to MN

Looks like a lot of people would say Em-me but still room for confusion so Emmy might be better. Short for Emmeline :-)

Does it really matter how a nickname is spelled, though?

I think it does- I only go by my nickname so my nickname is essentially my name which I only spell one specific way

Emme = Em-eh

Emmy or Emmie = Em-ee

Em -eh

Oh Emmeline is a beautiful name.

I see your husband’s logic, but think that Emmie is clearer than Emme.

Emme = Em-uh / Em-eh, depending on accent.

My daughter is Emme (short for Emmeline) pronounces Em-mee. I liked the idea of just using the letters from her full name, rather than changing the letter IYSWIM. Lots of people spell it Emmy which I don't really mind - it will be more up to her when she's older. Reading all these responses has made me wonder if people think it's really weird though!

Emmy

Thing is, the Emme part of Emmeline is actually pronounced "Emma" do if you definitely want "Emm-ee", I would use a different spelling

Yes, you don’t pronounce it Emmyleen do you?!
