(70 Posts)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!

Emily is lovely , a classic. Good luck x
Ah congratulations - enjoy your little chap
That’s great @robin04031402, but OP had a wee boy whom she called Sebastian (Seb for short).
RTFT 
I love Amelie!
Lovely change to Emily you hear everywhere you go.
Always came across Emilys but have yet to meet an Amelie
Congratulations! Lovely name 
30 hours is quite a feat! Well done you and I hope you're being waited on hand and foot while you recover 
@Expectingmum84 yay thank you so much for updating us! What a gorgeous name xxx
Congratulations and a 
for baby Seb. He must be all squishy
Congratulations!
Hi everyone,
Thank you all so much for your help.
I know a lot of you requested an update, so after 30 hours of labour I finally met my baby BOY!
We welcomed Sebastian “Seb” into the world ❤️ And I am truly in love.
Also glad it was a boy, because I was still undecided for a girls name.
Thank you all.
Both very common! I teach 5 Amelie's (2 classes) and 3 Emily's and 2 Emilie's this year
Amelie
I vote Emily and don’t find it dull in the slightest! I love it
Yes, good luck!
Good luck with induction @Expectingmum84
Like Emily but with a lower case A at the start.
Amelie.
How is Amelie pronounced?
Amelie. Agree that Emily is insanely dull
Emily
Emily, classic.
A
Amalie
Amelie is lovely
I love Amelie, but won't she get Amy as a nickname? How do you feel about Amy?
I dislike Emily, but that's due to a bad experience with a girl called Emily.
