Emi

REALLY cute; a nickname for Emiko!

I love this name, and it's a cute Japanese and English name. I can imagine it on any age. I really love it:)

This is a precious name. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I considered the name Emi spelled Emmie. She was named Emilia, so the spelling I had in mind was changed to Emi to be an exact match within the longer name Emilia. This was a good move. It eliminates confusion. Plus, the three letters are cute as a button, right? I like that while the lowercase "i" makes it look fragile the capital "E" gives it strength. My daughter's in grad school now. She's a smiling ray of sunshine. Because of this, the name makes me think of a huge heart full of kindness and hope. Before my career now, I was a high school English teacher. I know of at least two students who went on to use the name for their daughters. In fact, one used her middle name, Rose, too. Everyone loves it. People tend to think of it as cute rather than sophisticated, so it can come across as young and playful. This may bother some people. In my opinion, this adds to its charm. It's like having a grandma named Kitty. You can't help but smile.

Love the name and meaning a lot! Can also be used in English, even though this can be a Japanese name.

Really cute. I love the meaning too.

Awww it's cute!

I like Emi as a different way of spelling Emmy after Emmy Rossum.

I named my daughter Emi and my son Ian. They have a hyphenated last name so I wanted short first names to go with it. Emi fits my daughter very well. She's very girly and sweet, and was born weighing a pound and a half. A small name for a small girl. :)

This is beautiful!

My friend's newborn little girl's first name is Emi. Dad is Japanese, mom is American white. It's a great name; Japanese, but with a familiar enough pronunciation for Americans to be able to pronounce easily.

Emi is an adorable and sweet name. It's so perfect for a girl. :D.

The name is to short to be a first name so it's best as a middle name.

What could be a lovelier name for a darling girl than "beautiful blessing"?

Also, I'm confused by a comment up there a bit, especially by someone who claims Japan as their location. I've studied Japanese for 7 years, and no instructor or Japanese person I ever known would pronounce this in the same away as "Amy". There aren't diphthongs in Japanese the way there are in English. This would be pronounced with an E sound like the first sound in "ever".

My name is Emma and for quite some time my nickname has been Emi, but I never knew it was a Japanese name. I love Japanese names so I was delighted that I, a typical European white chick, would have a Japanese name with such a lovely meaning. :)
Of course, Emi was just short for Emma, but I like to think it's really my "Japanese name".

Growing up, I was often called by my nickname and for some reason never visualized the name as "Emmy", but rather "Emi" -- probably since the time I was five years old. This is how I spell it to this day. I know one mother whose daughter is called Emilia after her Italian heritage, and her nickname is spelt "Emi".

I've got a gerbil called Emi. She first was called Amy but when I found the spelling 'Emi' of the name I decided to call her that. I like the meaning of it as well. It also sounds really nice and it has a different spelling from most of the names I know.

A nice nickname for Emily, though it looks too much like 'emo'.
