What's wrong with the nn Millie?
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.
I love the nickname Millie! Thoroughly Modern
(I even love Mildred, so stately)

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

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?
Me too
Doesn’t that sound the same?

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

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