Emilia

Never been too keen on Amelia and it's too popular for me but then again it may get annoying having to correct people if it's Emilia.

Yes I know an Emilia who gets called Emily-a.

Prefer Amelia.

Thanks guys.
They both sound very similar which it's making it hard to decide. I'm veering towards Emilia because it's slightly less popular than Amelia.

Emilia - has more nicknames too - can be a Millie or an Em/Emmie.

Emilia looks more beautiful.

Definitely prefer Emilia - I think it looks nicer. I know that Amelia is a well known and very popular spelling, but it's also the name of a congenital medical condition.

I think I prefer how Amelia looks but the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy is gorgeous helpful

Great. Thanks all.
Really pleased to see that Emilia is getting some votes because that's my fave out of the two.

Kook, reading that conversation made me laugh. Something I wouldn't enjoy doing but can see it can be a possibility in the future. Oh what joy!
