Hi
I am due my 6th (and most definately final) dd in 3 weeks and dh and i can't agree on a name.

He wants Amillee but i am not keen - especially that spelling. and we already have a Emmie and think its too similar.

Another name on the list was Morgan untill this name appeared in a pariticularly chavvy family in a well known british soap.

Any opinions on the Amillee thing or any other names?
Our other girls are Alyssa, Ava, Matilda, Emmie and Alexis if that makes a difference

How about Emilia? Amilee just looks like a chavvy way of spelling Amelie, which in itself is a lovely name, but I agree with the 'too many A's' comment posted before. Or if you want something similar to Morgan, what about Morwenna? Or Rowan? Or Rowena?

Amelie is (I think) the French version of Emily, so Amelie and Emmie would in effect have the same name. The soap opera family will probably have emigrated/been buried under the patio/been beamed up by aliens within a year or so, so don't be deterred from using Morgan if that's your preferred name.

Or how about Lucy?

Your names are nice. Amelie is OK. Amilee is awful.

Agree too many A's already and this comes from someone who has had to crowd round an envelope that has J Surname with no miss, mrs, mr on it.

You have very girly names so what about Elizabeth or Margaret? Or Lilith.

Dont like Morgan. Amilee nice but similar to Emmie. Like Ava and Matilda.

Not keen on the spelling either. But that aside, I think you would have too many names beginning with a vowel (especially 'A'). In that respect, Morgan would have been ideal...shame about the soap.

I wouldn't go for the Amillee spelling either. I'd have thought Alyssa and Alexis are quite simlar too? Amelie or Amelia would be better, or what about Ariane or Amy?

have to agree that I am not keen on the spelling of Amillee

plenty of people don't watch soaps, so don't let that put you off necessarily.

do you have any others you like?

Amelie the 'usual' spelling is lovely and would go well with your other 5 names.
