LMAO! My brothers thought "Emilia" was too girly. The story goes, 
when mom was pregnant with me, they wanted me to be a boy to the 
point that they picked out my name, "Robert Edward", and were saving 
up their allowances to buy me a baseball glove and bat. They were 
shocked when I turned out to be me.

My parents called me "Emmy" for a while (I vaguely remember it). 
Still my brothers thought it sounded too girly so they started to 
call me "Mills" because it sounded "tougher". So the family calls 
me "Mills". When I tried registering "Mills" when HP4GU was on E-
groups, I didn't want to be Mills29087564134545. So I shortened it 
to "Milz". 

Believe me, I sympathesize with Ginny Weasley....all those older 
brothers! Which is why in a way, I'm a tiny bit disappointed with her 
character (but not enough to abandon all hope...yet). I have my 
fingers crossed about her in OoP:)
