Emma vs Emily

[xx Emily xx]

I'm an Emily and I usually get Em, Emi or Milly. I really like my name though.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I prefer Emma

 

[hopefulinwv]

I like both. My vote is for Emily though.

 

[mazndave]

Both are nice names, but I prefer Emma as I like how it has 2 syllables like Thomas and Sophie.

a friend of mine has a niece named emma-lee its like a perfect little mix of the 2, i love it!

 

[lau86]

I prefer Emma

 

[Starlight32]

I love both names but prefer Emily with your last name.

 

[LynAnne]

I actually think that Emma flows really nicely with the rest of the name. So that's my pick!

 

[MrsLux]

I'm an Emily - Emily Louise
I get called Em/Emmy Lou

 

[FayDanielle]

I prefer Emily.

 

[Zephram]

I vote for Emily.

 

[hundredage]

Emily sounds better for me. You can change the spelling to Emillee too

 

[minties]

Man this is so hard! I still have no idea and chop and change my mind every day.

I think I'll wait till I meet the baby, as Sophie was Zoe until she was actually born.

I'm also contemplating Alice but unsure on that either.

 

[Tryingagain3]

Emma is one of my favourite girls names so I'm going to go with that. Although Emily is pretty too x

 

[mum22ttc#3]

I prefer Emily, I prefer Alice to Emily though

 

[Bevziibubble]

I love both names but Emily is my favourite. We were going to name James Emily if he was a girl!

 

[Tanikins]

For me id choose emma. Not because i prefer it - i like both the same.

Somebody i know of named there child emily but spelt emmerleigh. And now i cant help but pronounce it like im a farmer, eh-meeeeeeeer-lee

 

[Elisheva009]

I prefer Emma as it's less used these days.

Emmy can be a nickname for either Emily or Emma. I was at school with an Emma who was called Emmy.

 

[minties]

Oh yuck at Emmerleigh! Way to take a nice neat short name and make it look totally weird.

I have been chatting to a few of the other mums at my sons school and they all think my name choice options are too dull. I do like nice safe easy names though.
