How do you pronounce this? Just like Amelia?

Yes. Some one I know has a dd called this.... Amelia

GirlsonFilm · 02/02/2014 15:33

More emphasis on Emil, like Emil and the detectives, rather than Amelia.

Mrsindecision · 02/02/2014 16:14

As GirlsonFilm says, there is a slight difference in the sound - the "Em" to sound like the beginning of Emily. Both names do sound very similar though.

RugbyWidow7 · 02/02/2014 16:14

Like Emily

Oriunda · 02/02/2014 16:21

Emm-ilia.

Tea1Sugar · 02/02/2014 16:22

Well although it's a tiny difference in pronunciation the difference in spelling means we aren't "copying" my cousins daughter who is Amelia. So Woop happy days our baby has a name!! And Emmy is a really cute nn :)

It's a lovely name not biased at all Smile

Mrsindecision · 02/02/2014 17:06

Yes, I prefer Emilia to Amelia! Well done on finding the "right" name. Grin

Tea1Sugar · 02/02/2014 17:09

Cannot describe how good it feels to have found The One!!

Especially now Peter Andre has called his daughter Amelia... Grin

Emilia far nicer in my opinion. Lovely name.

HoratiaDrelincourt · 03/02/2014 18:13

Yes, slightly different from Amelia. Very nice (I like Amelia too though).

MrsRV · 04/02/2014 16:37

oh no piss off Peter Andre using Amelia. Emmy is too cute. better than Millie which was my thinking for Amelia. Now considering Amelie here. jealous OP that you've found the one....

Tea1Sugar · 04/02/2014 16:41

MrsRV our tastes are identical... Go us :D
Next job for us is to decide between:
Emilia Charlotte
Emilia Rose
Emilia Jane
Emilia Kate
Emilia Claire

Emilia Charlotte would be my pick.

MrsRV · 05/02/2014 07:15

Emilia Rose gets my vote xx

Vajazzler · 05/02/2014 07:30

A friend has a dd called Emilia. She pronounces it Emma-Leah

Tea1Sugar · 05/02/2014 08:16

Vajazzler - interesting. All the pronunciations I've found on line have said em-ee-lia which is how we will pronounce it.

Vajazzler · 07/02/2014 13:13

I know. I was a bit Hmm at first but it really suits her

givemeaclue · 07/02/2014 13:15

Peter Andre just called his dd Emilia.

Mrsindecision · 07/02/2014 13:18

Peter Andre's daughter is actually called Amelia, not Emilia (very similar though!) Smile

MrsRV · 07/02/2014 19:53

Tea1Sugar · 08/02/2014 10:36

Not yet. I want Kate, dp wants jane (plain!).
