Yet, if you think this is childish, along with Emmie; I have a solution for you. Try the Japanese/English name Emi, if you don't like that, try Emme.

For once, I agree with Kayisforkeen on this. Emmy reminds me of the award, but I think spelling it Emmie solves this problem.

My parents told me that they chose the name "Emmy" for me because, when my mother was pregnant with me, she was reading through the newspaper and found the name "Emmy" in the obituary section a lot. All the people who had the name in there were very old people and because they wanted me to live that long too, they decided to call me that way.
I am proud of my name because of the intention that is behind it.
Let us all live happy long lives, Emmys out there!
PS: Don't forget, that you are a treasure, there is even one named after you!

Emmy's cute for a little girl, but once she turns 13 it sounds kind of silly. The name also makes me think of the Emmy Awards, which I find kind of annoying.

I was surprised to see this on the top 1000 list. It should really only be used as a nick name... I mean, it's not the worst name out there, but it's not very mature or professional. My guess is that it came back into the top 1000 because of the (over)use of the names Emma and Emily, and I guess parents were trying to be unique? Well, I do like it as a nickname, but not a full name. By the way, I use it as a nickname for Emilia.
