Thoughts on these names?
The A and the lie are to honour somebody.

Areli is a male name from the Bible.

Arelie - looks made up
Annelie- I'm only familiar with the Anneli spelling
Amelie - fine, a bit dull
Ashlie - bad spelling

I don't get how 'A lie' is honouring anyone.

Is the first name a typo of Aurelie ? Will you add an accent on the first e?

I wouldn’t use Ashlie and Annelie because of the spelling issue. If you’re in the US you can probably get away with the spelling but if you’re in the UK, incorrect spelling gives an impression of parental education being limited which is unfair on your dd.
That leaves Amelie - would you add an accent to the first e?

No not a typo. Areli is a biblical name but would spell it Arelie due to needing the "lie" on the end

I like Amelie. The others feel a little like they’re trying too hard to be unusual. Amelie is very pretty, I would go with that.

RookieMa · 16/07/2024 15:24

The spellings grate

So I can only recommend Amelie

Theoldwoman · 16/07/2024 15:06

I love Amelie.

Amalie is another option.

StormingNorman · 16/07/2024 14:38

Amelie or Aurelie

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 16/07/2024 14:24

I only like Amelie from that list… Ashlie is spelt wrongly and I’ve never heard of the others before.

Moreteaandchocolate · 16/07/2024 14:21

They are all pretty, but I’d pick Amelie as it’s the most familiar so easier in terms of spelling it out for people (I’m all for an easy life!) I also agree that Annelie is a little close to anally. How about just Annie as another A - ie name?

MistyHazelFox · 16/07/2024 13:30

I don't like Annelie because it's too similar to anal to my ears
I like Amelie or Ashlie the best.
I think when you're honoring someone with smoosh name, you might end up with honored person feeling less honored compared to situation where you do no honoring at all. But if you ask, surprise is ruined, and it might be really hard to ask about honoring without blowing up the honoring... especially if you change your mind.

RatalieTatalie · 16/07/2024 13:11

I love Annelie

Firsttimebabymummy · 16/07/2024 13:05

I really like Ashlie but spelt Ashley or Ashleigh.

I do like Amelie and Annelie too! Annelie more as has the potential nicknames of Ann / Nell / Elle / Ellie etc

Don't like Arelie at all..

Chasingsquirrels · 16/07/2024 12:35

I've got a friend with a young adult Annelie, I think it is a lovely name and I've never met another.
