Hello, everyone I am having trouble deciding if this is a viable choice for me. I’m loving the name [name]Emmi[/name]/[name]Emmy[/name] and thought briefly about using it as a full first name on its own but I feel it may be too nicknamey. I love the name [name]Amelia[/name] as well so I was thinking what about [name]Emilia[/name] with nickname [name]Emmi[/name]…sounds like a win win. The only thing is that whenever I hear the name [name]Emilia[/name] in my head I see the word [name]Amelia[/name]. [name]Will[/name] I get over that? I know others will assume she is [name]Amelia[/name] instead of [name]Emilia[/name] as well and I will forever be spelling her name out…not sure I want to go through that all the time. Maybe I’m just overthinking?
Anyway, let me know what you think…[name]Do[/name] you like the name [name]Emilia[/name]? [name]Do[/name] you know any little Emilias? And lastly, could [name]Emmi[/name] possibly stand on its own as a name or do you like it with [name]Emilia[/name] better. Thanks!
I know a little [name]Emilia[/name] and she goes by [name]Emi[/name]. I [name]LOVE[/name] it. Now, since I’ve met her, whenever I hear the name I immediately think of [name]Emilia[/name] vs [name]Amelia[/name]. To me, they sound completely different. [name]Ah[/name]-melia vs Eh-milia.
I love [name]Emilia[/name] and think it’s beautiful spelled this way. You may have to spell it out now and then, but I think the name/spelling is growing in popularity so hopefully you won’t have to spell it forever.
I don’t think [name]Emmi[/name]/[name]Emmy[/name] can stand on its own. It doesn’t age well. She needs a more formal name to use in professional circles as an adult, in my opinion. Other ways to get to [name]Emmy[/name]:
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Emmalyn[/name]
[name]Emelina[/name]
[name]Emery[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]/Emersen
[name]Emilia[/name] reminds me more of [name]Emily[/name] than [name]Amelia[/name].
I like [name]Emilia[/name] with the nickname [name]Emmy[/name].
I love [name]Emilia[/name] and I prefer it over [name]Amelia[/name]. I do understand your concern over it being the uncommon spelling, and having to spell it out. However in reality many people have to spell out their names, and it isn’t that big of deal. I’m a [name]Katherine[/name] and I always spell it out because of the many common spellings. It also depends on how much she would use [name]Emmy[/name], because she may not have to spell out [name]Emilia[/name] too often when she is older, if she uses [name]Emmy[/name] frequently. Personally, I would go for the full name with the nn [name]Emmy[/name], but that is my preference in general.
[name]Emilia[/name] was on my early list with [name]Henry[/name]. I love the name but ultimately decided that it was too similar to [name]Amelia[/name] for my liking (whenever I’d mention the name to someone, they thought I’d said [name]Amelia[/name] but that could just be my accent).
I love both [name]Emilia[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name], personally they sound different when I pronounce them (british accent), so I don’t know if people will mistake one for the other where you live, but I don’t think it’s a big deal, to say, no [name]Emilia[/name] beginning with an E not an A. I love [name]Emmy[/name] as a nickname (ever since I saw the gorgeous actress [name]Emmy[/name] Rossum) - that may help stop people confusing her name if she goes by it rather than her full name.
I’d go for the full name not the nn as it gives more options, especially as certain situations in life ask for a more formal grownup name.
I love [name]Amelia[/name], but as it’s quite popular i’d suggest going with [name]Emilia[/name], although similar to me they’ve always stood out as completely different names and I get completely different vibes when I look at them, i’ve never seen them as the same name with different spellings. Either way they’re both lovely, classic, elegant names and whichever you pick is going to make a lovely name for your daughter.
I like [name]Emilia[/name] (probably more than [name]Amelia[/name]), but she hasn’t yet made it to my girls’ list. [name]Emmy[/name] is sweet. Also, I’ve never met anyone with the name!
I work at an elementary school, and there is one student named [name]Emilia[/name]. I like it, and [name]Emmy[/name]/[name]Emmi[/name] is a great nn for it. I think that [name]Emilia[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] have slightly different pronunciations…I wouldn’t worry too much about people misspelling it.
I basically say [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Emilia[/name] the same, but maybe a little more emphasis on the ‘[name]Em[/name]’ sound for [name]Emilia[/name]. I like [name]Emme[/name] and [name]Millie[/name] as nicknames for [name]Emilia[/name] and much prefer this spelling to [name]Amelia[/name], which is so popular in the UK. [name]Isaac[/name] & [name]Emilia[/name] look cute together.
I love it! I do prefer [name]Amelia[/name]. I think [name]Emmie[/name] can definitely stand on its own. I have know a few [name]Emmi[/name]'s
I really love the name [name]Emilia[/name], this probably has to do with the fact that my father is named [name]Emilio[/name]. My father is from South American, so I use Spanish pronunciation of Eh-meel-lee-a rather than the English pronunciation of A-meal-ia.
I don’t know…I like [name]Amelia[/name] better. It has the fearless image of [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Earhart[/name], tied to it, which I like.
I prefer [name]Emilia[/name], and I say it with a very slight difference to [name]Amelia[/name], but so subtle not everyone would pick up on it. I adore the nn [name]Milly[/name], and I think the [name]Emilia[/name] spelling not only looks nicer but lends itself to [name]Milly[/name] a bit better. I’d go with [name]Emilia[/name] as the full name and [name]Emmy[/name] as the nn.
I’m biased, but I love the name [name]Emilia[/name]! [name]Millie[/name] is my favorite nickname for [name]Emilia[/name]. :] I do worry about people assuming that it’s [name]Amelia[/name] even though the two are different names and [name]Emilia[/name] isn’t just a different spelling, but I think you should go for it. I pronounce them differently though. [name]Amelia[/name] is more Uh-mee-lia, and [name]Emilia[/name] is more Eh-mee-lia, with an emphasis on the [name]Em[/name].
I love [name]Emmi[/name]/[name]Emmy[/name], but I do prefer it as a nickname for a longer [name]Em[/name] name like [name]Emilia[/name].
