My Baby's new name

I've narrowed down a list of over 50 names for my baby girl. Which would be a good name for my baby girl ? Charlotte or Amelia ?

Charlotte is my preferred but with the nn Lottie or Lotta please not Charlie or even worse Charli 🙄 Amelia is nice too.

Amelia

Amelia

MercyBodle · 22/02/2019 07:56

I much prefer Charlotte. Amelia is always the girl in Vanity Fair novel to me.

Bloodyhilariousthatis · 21/02/2019 23:51

Amelia is lovely. I don’t hear the ‘meal’ in it. Ah-meal-ya?
It’s Ah-me-lee-ah. In English anyway.

Charlotte will always be a stuck up girls name to me.

YoghurtTopper · 21/02/2019 23:47

Agree ^ plus it always sounds elongated to me, so Ah-Meeeeaaalll-liaaa and there's the medical meaning. It's just a shit, horrible name.

Tillygetsit · 21/02/2019 23:38

I've never liked the 'meal' sound in Amelia so I'll say Charlotte.

Charlotte

I prefer Charlotte, it is more versatile and more classic and timeless. Amelia is a very 'trendy' name that's suddenly risen in popularity, it will also dive in popularity too and sound dated in a few years time. Also there are a lot of Emilia's and this could get confusing.

JRMisOdious · 20/02/2019 21:56

Amelia (or Amelie, maybe)

Didyeeaye · 20/02/2019 21:54

I like Charlotte best out of the two. Plus, Lottie or Charlie are lovely nicknames.

MamaDane · 20/02/2019 21:39

Both are lovely OP, just see which one she looks like 😊

aliceandkids77 · 20/02/2019 21:37

personally prefer Charlotte, not a fan of Amelia. in case you needed some more names: Emily, Abigail, Clara, Emma, Sophia. x

DramaAlpaca · 20/02/2019 20:06

Charlotte

daisypond · 20/02/2019 18:50

Amelia. I don't like Charlotte.

Bumblebeesmum · 20/02/2019 18:14

Both are lovely

erja · 20/02/2019 17:58

I prefer Amelia of the two but hate the popularity. I know of 8 under 3! Do you have other options?

Crunchymum · 20/02/2019 14:21

What were some of the other names?

I prefer Charlotte of the two but don't love it.

HalfBloodPrincess · 20/02/2019 13:38

Amelia is so much nicer. Charlotte is a nice name but a bit plain.

punishmepunisher · 20/02/2019 13:35

Charlotte. Seems like everyone and their dog is Amelia right now.

CloserIAm2Fine · 20/02/2019 13:29

I love both but I think I prefer Charlotte

MikeUniformMike · 20/02/2019 11:13

Charlotte. Not keen on Amelia.

Sophronia · 20/02/2019 11:03

Not keen on either, but Charlotte out of the two.

gossipgirl28 · 20/02/2019 08:33

I prefer Charlotte

SallyWD · 20/02/2019 07:51

Both are nice. I prefer Charlotte.
