In my schoolseveral grade ahead of me, was a boy named Emmanuel, with the nn's Lanel & Emma. He pulled "Emma" off very well. In college, I knew a couple guys nn'd Ellie (short for Eleazar / Eliazar), and I never batted an eye. Then again, I'm exactly the type to name a DS Laurence just so I could call him Lauren. ;o)

Reminds me of something...A lady I know told us about this in church. She was back at home after going into town. She went up to the door and it was unlocked. She thought that was strange. She said she went in and this deep voice said, "Hi, Mom!" It was her son (a Marine) back for a surprise visit. She screamed and shouted, "TimmyTimmyTimmyTimmy!"She related the story in full, and when she got to the "Timmy!" part, Tim turned red and you could just see, "Gee, thanks, Mom..." written all over his face.Anyway,I wouldn't call my son Emmy. Might be embarrassing later in life.
