It is quite anal.

BeaufortBelle · 08/01/2016 22:03

What's wrong with Amelia or Amelie (French)

I don't want to offend but it sounds silly and made up.

karalime · 08/01/2016 22:04

You really wanted a boy called Neil.

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 08/01/2016 22:04

Yep to MsRinky.

Anal.

BaBaBaBoomBoom · 08/01/2016 22:06

Would be mistaken for Amelia 99.9% of the time..

Sunshine511 · 08/01/2016 22:09

I agree with the comments above! Will always end up getting called Amelia!x

thehillshaveyes · 08/01/2016 22:09

My grandmother is called Anelia, she's Hungarian. Very popular name there.

shouldwestayorshouldwego · 08/01/2016 22:11

Sounds like 'A kneeler' to me, as in something that you kneel on. It will get confused with Amelia too when written down. Amelie is pretty.

villainousbroodmare · 08/01/2016 22:20

Not a fan. A bit Amelia, a little bit anal. imo.

LucyMouse · 08/01/2016 22:22

You've spelt Amelia wrong.

MrsChrisPratt · 08/01/2016 22:23

I'd think the parents couldn't spell...

SirChenjin · 08/01/2016 22:24

You tried to make Amelia you-neeq.

PenelopePitstops · 08/01/2016 22:28

You can't spell Amelia.

IoraRua · 09/01/2016 00:02

It does remind me of anal, like a pp said.
Is it pronounced like ah-nail-yia or ah-neel-yia, or another way? With the firdt pronunciationi hear "I'll nail ya", which sounds vaguely sexual or violent, I think...

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 09/01/2016 01:02

A mixture of Amelia and Anal. Not good.

BackforGood · 09/01/2016 01:19

That you were trying to make 'Amelia' unique. I suspect she would get very, very fed up of saying, "No, not Amelia - it's Anelia" throughout her life.

IguanaTail · 09/01/2016 01:21

Agree with above. Abandon.

Babymamamama · 09/01/2016 01:22

Another no vote I'm afraid. There are so many prettier names that sound similar. That one though is a bit odd.

I clicked on this thinking the thread title had a typo for 'Amelia.' So that.

SecretNutellaFix · 09/01/2016 16:53

It looks like you hit the wrong key when you were typing it, unfortunately.

MississippiMud314 · 09/01/2016 16:54

either a typo for Amelia, if you're lucky, or if you're unlucky and people see that it is Anelia then it's too like Anal.

Secondtimeround75 · 09/01/2016 16:56

Thumbs down for all of the above reasons

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 09/01/2016 17:02

Out loud it sounds like you've said Amelia whilst you have a cold.

MidnightVelvetthe4th · 09/01/2016 17:09

Second all of the anal comments.

Also I'd either think you were a bit thick & couldn't spell Amelia properly or that you wanted some dreadful unique name.

Use Amelie perhaps
