Thank you everyone for all your help on my last thread.

We decided on Sebastian for a boy.

However if it’s a girl most votes were for Amelie or Emily.

My husband prefers Emily as it’s classic
I do like Emily but feel it’s dated? Amelie is more fresh.

What do you think? Please vote one!

I don't like Amelie - it became popular after the film.
Emily is a classic, so my vote is for Emily.

Emily is timeless, where as Amelie feels more trendy/try hard to me (not in a good way). I don't think it sounds fresh to be honest. It's been popular for a few years.

I know some people prefer Emmeline to Emily? I still prefer Emily though. Or actually Emma is my favourite.

Amelie and Amelia are probably the most common names here where I live so on that basis, I’d go for Emily.

I prefer Emily, but your vagina = your choice!

Emily. It’s classic and Amelie will be dated in a few years.

Also Amelie is a bit trying to be french but not. Loads of amelias around, it's boring.

Amelie. Sounds completely different to Amelia so don’t know why people need to point out Amelia is popular

Amelie is a very pretty name, I don't think it will date. I know an Emilie.

Amelie sounds pretentious unless you are French. I would pick Emily or Emilia.
