What do you think of Amalia?

[rachxx]

What do you think of Amalia as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Or Amelle.

Sorry for the multiple threads today!

Amalia is lovely, unusual and works in a variety of languages. Not keen on Amelle...

Don't like it. She'd spend her life saying
'no, it's not Amelia, it's.....

And are we sayin it am-a-leah or A-mar-leah

Surely people would see the difference? Amelie doesnt get confused with Amelia

Would that be pronounces Am-AR-lia or A-MAY-lia or Am Al ia. I don't think yukola to any of them but none of them really grab me.

Looks made up to me.

I'm sorry I think people will think you said Amelia which is btw very very popular round by me.

Along with Emily and Emilia and Ellie.

Sorry but I do think Amelie gets confused with Ameila.

All the Emilias I know have mums who say "this is Em-ee-lia" to make the point.

Oh dear. Another off the list then!!!

I have officially given up now!

Amalia - sounds like a tropical disease.

Amelle - sounds like a Feminie Hygeine Product.

Yes, it's lovely-middle eastern isn't it?

And Amelle?

I like if. I have Romanian friend, pronounced am-ar-lia. It is sinijar to other names which ate fairly common at the mo (already mentioned on this thread) but not so similar that the people would get them mixed up, imo.

amalia will just make people think it's amelia with a typo, very annoying i think!
