Amelia.

Emilia definitely

Emilia

Never been too keen on Amelia and it's too popular for me but then again it may get annoying having to correct people if it's Emilia.

raviolidreaming · 26/11/2016 15:57

Amelia.

Yes I know an Emilia who gets called Emily-a.

Prefer Amelia.

Amelia

Thanks guys.
They both sound very similar which it's making it hard to decide. I'm veering towards Emilia because it's slightly less popular than Amelia.

Another vote for Emilia...

DramaAlpaca · 26/11/2016 19:16

Yet another vote for Emilia.

ElornaElephant · 26/11/2016 19:46

Emilia - has more nicknames too - can be a Millie or an Em/Emmie.

KookSpook · 26/11/2016 19:50

Amelia. She will forever be saying "Its with an E" everytime shes on the phone etc.

It would drive me bonkers.

Emilia looks more beautiful.

NannyR · 26/11/2016 19:56

Definitely prefer Emilia - I think it looks nicer. I know that Amelia is a well known and very popular spelling, but it's also the name of a congenital medical condition.

I think I prefer how Amelia looks but the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy is gorgeous helpful

Emilia

Emilia.

Emilia Smile

cheweduprope · 26/11/2016 21:00

Emilia for sure.

GreenGoblin0 · 26/11/2016 21:00

I like Emilia but DP and I disagree on how to pronounce...how are you pronouncing it?

ISpeakJive · 26/11/2016 21:17

Great. Thanks all.
Really pleased to see that Emilia is getting some votes because that's my fave out of the two.

Kook, reading that conversation made me laugh. Something I wouldn't enjoy doing but can see it can be a possibility in the future. Oh what joy!
