I really like it.

Very popular I can think of 5 under 4. Odd choice if you dont have a strong French connection - like calling a boy Pierre when you are both from Basingstoke.

Very popular, a bit too popular IMO. I know 4, and I also know a few Amelias too.

I know 4, all under two.

Very popular due to the film and IMO will date quite quickly (due to said film)

Common, in both senses of the word.

It is quite popular now. I know of a few under 5.

I know two, both two years old. Pretty name.

Very

Know several under 5, although I do know a lot of French people!

there were two in my post natal group of 20 ladies.... One's mum was French the other was English and I always got the impression she was a little embarrassed about it having met a proper French Amelie... For me it's a bit like Elodie.... belongs to someone else's culture...

Fredfred · 31/08/2010 18:11

I know 2! Lovely name though!

NiceCuppaT · 31/08/2010 17:50

I know one lovely little Amelie. Lovely name

Much prefer Amelia or Emily.

azazello · 31/08/2010 16:53

Very. DD is about to start pre-school and there will be 3 in her class of 20.

I only actually know 1 but it feels very popular somehow
