Is Amelia overused?

Baby number 2 on its way. We never had a girls name for baby number 1, and we're having the same problem for number 2.

DH absolutely loves Olivia - I like it too, but we know at least 6 children with variations of it (Olivia, olive, liv etc). And my mum has a very strong London accent, in a non London area.. the name will constantly be Alivia or Livia.

I love Florence, DH isn't feeling it, no matter how much I've tried to influence it.

Me and DH both think Amelia is a nice enough name, I know it's in the top 10, which doesn't bother me too much.. we already have a George after all... but I was just wondering if it's overused in other people's opinions? Only because, I actually don't know a single other Amelia, even though it's classed as a popular name.

Also..

Amelia Rose R
Amelia Willow R
Amelia Florence R

How do they sound?

I meant to say, I don't know any Amelias.

I like Amelia. I don't like Amelie at all, though. Florence for a middle name out of your choices. Or would you consider Rose for a first name? That would be my top choice out of your names.

If you love it go for it

How about Constance know as Connie.

Constance Willow R is nice.

I love Amelia, wanted to name my daughter that (only have sons though) but sadly it's so overused.

I prefer Amelia Florence

I do think it's very overused. Wasn't it number 1 on more than one occasion? I know so, so many.

How about Amelie for a less used alternative? Booth are pretty names I think though and I like all your middle name choices too!
