Title: What are these two names?

I’d be very grateful for an opinion on what these two names on the back of an old photo are.

Emma & Lonny (or Sonny).

Do you have any more of the writing you could post. Helps with recognising how the person has written other words, that can be read.

Emmie & Jonny (or Sonny)

Emmie & Jonny ?

We need more of the writing image for comparison.

This is the first part of the photo caption. It is the only writing by this person that I have. The photo is of a young woman (in her early 20s maybe) with an infant who I’m pretty sure is a girl. I don’t want to post it because theoretically she could still be alive if I’m on the right track.

looking at both images of the writing I'd say
Emmie and Jonny or Jenny
the writer doesn't completely form the 'e' at the end of 'outside' or 'the'

Many thanks. I think that the names are Emmie and Jenny. My father spoke a a cousin Emmie. I think the latter may have been named Jean on her birth registration.
