This is my name (well, technically it's a nickname but I choose to go by it a lot) and I absolutely adore it! I find it sounds really nice when other people say it, and seeing as I'm genderfluid it doesn't lean towards being particularly feminine or masculine which I appreciate a lot. I'd say as a name it suits me quite well, but in the same way I can see why some people don't like it as just a full name.

I have a friend named Em. It's a Vietnamese name meaning "young" or "young girl." While Em is really more of a Vietnamese term of endearment, it's her actual name, and can be used as one.
