Emmy

I much much much prefer Emily or Emma. I really want to like Emmy, I just really can’t.

I prefer Emmy over Emma or Emily. I think it sounds younger but it could sound nice on an older person as well. Very cute name.

I love the name Emmy! I think it is really sweet and I also like the nickname Em.

Childish but cute.

It's so cute and pretty but it's better than Emma.

Emmy from Dragon Tales.

Nice nickname for Emily or Emma, too.

All I can imagine is Emmy Awards. Personally, I think this is childish and not that pretty as a name.

I knew a girl called Emīlija but people spelt her name Emmy / Emy / Emi.

Cute! I like it!

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.

I HATE this name. It sounds okay on a two year old, but is wayyyyy too informal. I like Emily a lot better.

Love it, but prefer the Japanese name Emi.

Like, the award?

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

My name is Emily. The name Emmy comes from Emily. AND YET EVERYONE HATESSSS THE NAME EMILY. Everyone loves the name Emmy though. I love the name Emmy but still... Everyone said Emily is a bad name or sounds like an old lady.

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!

I like this spelling more than “Emmie, ” “Emmi, ” or “Emme” — it reminds me of the Emmy awards.

I like it as a nickname. Being an Emilia I sometimes go by Emmy among my English-speaking friends. It's cute.

Cute for a little girl.
I always think of that little girl and boy on Dragontales. :)

I like Emmy spelled like Emmi. I don't like the Y at the end.

I am called Emma. I often go by Em, Ems and Emmy.

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.

Only for a nickname!

Also a nickname for Emmaline or Emmeline. Very cute for a little girl! I would love to name my daughter this, but she'd probably go by Em as a teen/young adult.

I love the name Emmy. I also like it spelt Emme.

As a nickname, Emmy sounds fine, but as a given name it would sound weird because of the Emmy Awards.

My name's Emerald, but I go by Emmy. It's ok.

I love this name as both a pet name for Emma and a diminutive of Emily! I think it's cute and pretty.

A mundane, ditzy-sounding name with few worthwhile bearers.

I love this nickname of Emma. It is cute, but short.
