Emmeline or Emilia?

[lucieloos]

Which one do you prefer? Nn would be Emmy.

Emilia for me, Emmeline is lovely too but I believe it has pronunciation issues and is often misheard as Emily. X

Emmeline for me.

Emmeline

Why not just call her Emmy?

Nicknames are often organic developments IME :)
Prefer emmeline. Emelia will get mispelt as Amelia all the time and it reads a bit like a disease

Prefer Emmeline, beautiful name.

I have an emmeline in one of my sixth form classes. I'm not sure if it's because I'm dyslexic or just rubbish at pronunciation, but I keep accidentally calling her Emeelien.

Emmeline

Both are lovely, I lean slightly toward Emmeline.

@JulesM73 I love Emmy but I think it's too much of a nickname and maybe not as good for when she is older.

@Thisusernameistakenagain it would be Emilia not Emelia.

My DD’s friend is Emilia - I think it’s lovely, but due to the prevailing popularity of Amelia, it’s constantly assumed to be Amelia and written wrongly. Something to think about if that would pee you off (it would me!!)

Emelia is much nicer in my opinion. I love Emily too.

Emilia for me.

Emmeline - much classier, sounds strong, more unusual. Emilia is pretty, but a bit frilly for my taste. It will also blend in with the millions of Amelias. I prefer Emme / Em as a nn.

Emmeline - it has a nice link with the suffragette, and is less commonplace. Emilia is pretty and Shakespearean but in most accents is indistinguishable with the thousands of Amelia's.

Emmeline

Emilia. If Emmy is too nicknamey (I agree actually) what about Emma?

My Emmy is an Emilia, love her name and she's the only one in her school.

Emilia definately... I know three who go by

Emmie
Em
Millie

Oh and I actually know an Emmie who has that as her full name

Emmeline, just gorgeous!!! Emilia is a lot more common and just a bit mehh these days in my honest opinion.

I really like them both. I slightly prefer Emmeline.

Emmeline. Emilia gets misheard as Amelia. I wouldn’t use Emmy, though.

Emmeline - but only because it's DD's name! It does often get misheard/mispronounced so we often have to correct but it's not a big thing and she's assertive enough to tell people

Emmeline !

I'm an Emmeline...People always hear Emmy as Emily.
