What do you think of Amelie?

I am wondering if everyone will just laugh because they think I have taken it from the film, which I kinda have lol. I like it as a name. It doesn't sound a bit... pretentious? posh?

Also, any good middle names to go with. Our surname is Rutter. So Amelie _ Rutter. I have a daughter already, who is Faith Elizabeth. I do wonder if these names seem totally alien to each other.

My partner loves Amelie after I suggested it hehe... but I don't want to end up having everyone think we are nuts haha

I really love Amelie, I think the film is old enough to not really be a problem. I think it sounds good with Faith and with your surname.
I fear everyone would just hear Emily and you and she would be for ever saying "No it's Amelie"

It's very popular at the moment, I know two who will be in Ds's school when he starts in September.

I don't think it really goes with your surname,
