No. Both pronounced the same. Like Vivian and Vivienne. Same pronunciations but with different spellings.

I thought these were Vivi-ann and Vivi-enne, no?

I knew an Emilia who always said it was pronounce E-meelya. Everyone else pronounces it the same though.

Yeah, it might be regional, but some people do pronounce them differently.

OP you should use Amelia or Emily. Emilia looks ridiculous.

Please don’t call her Millie.

What's wrong with the nn Millie?

I do think of them as having slightly different pronunciations.

Emilia: Eh-MEEL-yuh
Amelia: Uh-MEEL-yuh

So if you want Emmy as a nickname, I'd go with Emilia. Milly would work better as a nickname for Camille or Millicent, since neither name has a strong "mil" sound.

OP here. We don’t like Emily or the other name PP suggested. We have settled on the name. I like Amelia because it is what I’m used to when I think of the name and spelling, but husband likes Emilia. His grandmother was named Mildred and everyone called her Millie. This is why we will call her that. I like the nickname Emmy. I’m sure kids are called different names by different people.
