Name Puzzle - Nem?

[MattD30]

I have recently come across a christening on FamilySearch and I'm puzzled by the first name:

Name: Nem Blundall
Female
Christened 6 October 1583
Parish Fittleworth, Sussex
Father: James Blundall

The name also appears transcribed as "Nem" on Findmypast as well. Does anyone know what Nem might be short for or if it is a variation of something?

Thanks

Matt

Closest name I can think of might be Nahum (a biblical prophet).  Remember Nahum Tate, hymn writer, 1652-1715.
Thinking about it, neither Nahum nor Nehemiah is a female name.  Perhaps a pet version of Emma or Emily ?

Vague possibility, Nehemiah

Trouble is, it's a girl (see original post).

The entry can be found on FamilySearch, with a link to the image - it doesn't go straight there, but I think it was about no.16. It says 'daughter', or however they spelled it then. Unfortunately the image isn't the best quality, and it's a bit faint at the crucial place.

Oh dear how embarrassing

  There was an earlier child called Hellena (FindMyPast transcription). If she died the one you are looking at could be Nell?
