Amelie

[Clandy]

Dp has described this name as just a noise not a name (silly man) bit I love it!! What do you think...?

[SherlockHolmes]

To me it always sounds like you're saying Emily wrongly. Sorry, don't like it.

[londonmackem]

I think it is quite popular are you French? We loved the name but decided it was a bit too twee with us being Northern and all!

[TillyIpswitch]

Faddy. Will date.

[TillyIpswitch]

To add, I think it's a pretty name, but she will be identifiable as a child of the 00s/10s, as Claire and Joanne are identifiable as children of the 70s/80s.

[Clandy]

Ooooh damn I am a right northerner and now you have said the 1st time I met an Amelie I thought she said Emily... Maybe the silly man is right (will never ever in rl admit to this )

[Dilligaf81]

I think its pretty but I also think it sounds like Emily said wrong and around here there are loads of them.

[mopsyflopsy]

Agree - very popular and will probably date. Nice when said with a proper French accent but less so when pronounced in English imo.

[cookielove]

I know a lovely little Amelie, and she really suits it, however her mother is Spanish and her father Portuguese. They pronounce it Am-a-lee i assume this is how you would as well.

[TrompetteMilitaire]

Common.

[ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls]

Nah, definitely not, go with Emily or Amelia but not some french combo that seems trendy at the moment.

[Iamkenny]

It is alright - looks far better and less emily spelt/said wrong if you had the acute on the first e. That is how people will spell it (at least half the time) esp due to film.

[PercyFilth]

Only if you're French or have French ancestry. I suspect its popularity with English-speakers stems from the film.

[MeconiumHappens]

Great if you're french, a bit try hard if you're not imo. Plus people will mispronounce it forever, which will be annoying, despite there being loads of amelie's at the mo.

[Clandy]

Advice taken... back to the drawing board thanks for taking time to help out is appreciated

[A1980]

I love it! Will prob use it myself.

[CointreauVersial]

Sweet.
