I am in south wales, and know lots of Millies but not so many Amelias

mazzystartled · 21/01/2009 21:54

it is very pretty
both names are EXTREMELY popular

ilikeyoursleeves · 21/01/2009 21:51

Lovely names! We're going for Milly if we have a DD

kateus · 21/01/2009 15:29

It's a lovely name, don't worry about whether it's popular or not.
My granny was called Amelia, and her name was shortened to Min or Minnie.
Enjoy your baby xxx

Pretty name, but a little dull as you hear it SO often these days...

RachieB · 20/01/2009 23:12

Most Millies i know are just that ! lol

and one other is Millicent

babyneris · 18/01/2009 21:09

Nice.

yemmaly · 18/01/2009 20:45

Regional aside is very popular.
Nothing wrong with it, just a bit dull.

Wilkiepedia · 18/01/2009 20:26

Very pretty

moshie · 18/01/2009 16:20

lol Clarrisimo, I'm in south wales!

ZZZen · 17/01/2009 19:01

Lovely go ahead!

Clarissimo · 17/01/2009 18:56

(No Amelias or millies here in south wales

its that regional thing again

I always say if youre worried about popular names never go by MN- ask your friends etc. It varies far too much!)

Clarissimo · 17/01/2009 18:55

Beautiful name.

nappyaddict · 17/01/2009 18:53

Nice but both names very popular so it depends if you mind that.

wotulookinat · 17/01/2009 16:04

Personally I wouldn't use either names as I just don't like them, but they are popular right now so, if you like them, why not?

CrackopentheBaileys · 17/01/2009 15:54

My dd is Amelia Ava and people quite often comment that it's such a pretty name

chancelloroftheexCHEQUERS · 17/01/2009 15:53

Popular names are popular because they are nice.

Spoo · 17/01/2009 15:42

I think they are lovely names.

Elfrida · 17/01/2009 15:41

Both very popular names.

cheltmum · 17/01/2009 10:48

You say you don't know any Amelias. You'll probably find a lot of the Millies you know are actually Amelias. Sometimes Amelia is shortened to Amy too.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with popular names. If you love it, just go for it.

Moominpappa · 16/01/2009 22:12

We have an Emilia Grace!

Lotster · 16/01/2009 18:59

Agree it's a very "now" name, but lovely.

Tinker · 16/01/2009 18:56

I don't think they'll date like Sharon and Tracy. Controversial but, did Sharon and Tracy ever actually sound nice?

Tinker · 16/01/2009 18:54

Pretty but they'll be loads of them

LynetteScavo · 16/01/2009 18:53

Intrepid indeed!

Amelia means "Hardworking" which I think is a nice combination with Grace.
