Amelia Rose?

[elizabethjane]

Hello, I'm looking for opinions please.

I'm expecting my third child and I know its a girl. I'm thinking of Amelia Rose as a name. What does anyone think? (My second choice is Emma.)

Really lovely, classic and elegant.

Lovely classic name, very feminine.

Thank you!!!

Really like it. But I think Emma Rose sounds lovely as well.

I ,ike it, but every Amelia I know is 'Amelia Rose'

Amelia is very girly and flowery IMO.

Emma is much more understated.

very populart name here, rose as a nn is used too much now imo, and amelia rose sounds pretty but a bit long boat ish. Emma is very pretty tho

Love them both :)

Beautiful. The only Amelia I know is Amelia Francesca which is also very nice.

Lovely but very popular/common as a result.

Very pretty but both names are very overused. Every little girl I know that's been born in the last 3 years has had the middle name Rose!
I really love Amelia but there are loads of Amelia/Amelie/Emilia/Emilys around at the moment.

Very pretty name. Being popular is not important to me.

My little niece is called Emma, really suit her.

Thank you all for the feedback. Wouldn't it be great if you could find out in which particular areas of the UK a name was commonly used!

Hi Jewels for Xmas - when you say longboatish do you mean Viking-ish?

Lots and lots of Amelias around here (south west). It is a nice name but personally the popularity would really put me off. But if it doesnt bother you go for it.

Doesn't she (Jewels) mean like the name on the side of a barge?

I like Amelia Rose. So what if it's popular. It's very pretty. My DD2 has Emilia as a second name.

ahhh this was going to be my second childs name, but he turned out to be a DS not a DD. Lovely names, our DD is Daisy Ella, so I wanted to reverse the name/flower name combination for our second (if a DD). Kind of sad we never got to use the names (no plans for a third child) as I think they are so lovely!

Very pretty :)

very nice

This was one of our Amelia combinations. We have had the name picked for about 8 years. I don't give a stuff how popular it is, I love it.

Rose was an option as a middle name, we gave DS (2.10) a choice of 3 middle names and we have let him pick the one he likes. He has picked our favourite but I wouldn't have been sorry if he had picked Rose.

Amelia is lovely - it's not overused among people I know.
Rose is desperately overused as a middle name. Everyone seems to choose Rose or Grace. It's nice with Amelia but dull.

I prefer Emma but maybe because it's less popular atm.

nice, bit dull now? Emma bit 70's in my mind as lots at school but objectively think is quite classic.

I think it's lovely. It's your child - stuff whether others are using the name too! My parents chose my name because they thought it wasn't too common, but there ended up being 6 of us with that name in my year at school. Didn't bother me at all!

Amelia Rose was our shortlist for our DD last year....it is SO popular. We didn't end up using it, not because of its popularity just because a very close family memeber used the name first. Lovely name though.
