[Opinions] Emmy
I've been thinking a lot about this (nick)name lately and I'm curious what your opinion is about it. I never hear anyone talk about it, but is that a good or bad thing? :p
Which spelling do your prefer: Emmy, Emme, Emmie, Emi?
Are Elly and Emmy too similar for cousins?
Could Emmy be a full name (although I'm not contemplating it)? There are so many nicknames as full names!

I think it’s a lovely name, one that I like a lot actually and would consider using myself. I like all the spelling variations, none are awful imo and the name is absolutely usable as a full name. I can see it on a baby, all the way through to an elderly lady. I used to like Emmy the best, but then I shifted to Emmie, to get away from the awards thing associated with Emmy. That said, I still find Emmy lovely and wouldn’t let the awards put me off if that spelling worked better in a combo. Emi is also lovely and the meaning is quite sweet. Emme is good too, but I think this version might lead to mispronunciation issues. Elly and Emmy for cousins is fine, no big deal at all. If I had to use a full name, then maybe Emmeline would be my choice.
I prefer the spelling Emmy. I love Emmeline as Emmy’s full name.
Emmy as a nn is fine, but not as a full name and I wouldn't worry about the cousin
I like the spelling Emmy the best, and if I had to pick a name for it to be a nn for, I'd pick Emmeline. I don't like Emmy as a full name itself, and I think Emmy and Elly are fine as cousins.

I like Emi best, I think it works better than Emmy or Emmie as a full name.
I like Emmy, and this is my favorite spelling. Emmie is also alright but maybe a little too sweet for me. I pronounced Emme differently.
Emmy can absolutely be a full name, as well as a nickname. My favorites are probably Emilia and Emmeline, with Emmy as a nickname.
