Nickname: I have about a hundred nicknames, but the main one is “Em,” just as a shortening of Emmaline, but it does have a lot of spellings. Most people spell it “Em,” a few coaches and teammates spell it “Emm,” and the other pitcher on my high school team spells it my favorite way, “M.” Another popular one is “Humpday,” as a play off my last name.
