Same era, but close to Emmy
These names follow Emmy's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Emmy. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.

How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Emmy's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Emmy's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Emmy or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Emmy itself are excluded.
