: Эммочка, скорее, от Эммы./Эмма - самостоятельное имя.

Эми(Emy), Милечка(Milechka), Милая(=dear, Milaya)
Just some ideas)
The last one(Milaya) isn't a name, but an adjective which means "dear/darling" in Russian and sounds very similar to the name... play of words)

: "Милечка" - вполне вероятно, "РРјРё" выглядит англицизмом РІ стиле героев "РђРЅРЅС‹ Карениной", Р° "Милая" кажется искусственным образованием.// Р’С

безусловно, "Милая"-это искусственное образование,но почему бы и нет в данном контексте-affectionate,poetry и т.п.?
