Thoughts on Amelie?

[noideahereo]

I love love love this name however is it too close to Amelia? I think it sounds lovely but wouldn't want her to spend her whole life being confused with Amelia, especially as Amelia is so popular. Opinions and any suggestions welcome!

Absolutely love it :)

I only have one person that insists on calling my DD Amelia instead of Amelie. Everyone else manages fine

I love it, my middle name!

I'm not mad on it, but it's much nicer than Amelia.

It's a very pretty name, but not as unusual as it once was. I don't think people would confuse it with anything else.

I like it but it's become common currency after the film.

What about Aurelie?

I love it, nearly used it for DD2 but went with the other French name mentioned on this thread 😉

Gorgeous name but I think the increasing popularity would put me off a bit

I think Amelie is a pretty name. It makes me think of the self titled film "Amelie," which is a great film. The character Amelie in the film is a quirky, strong, independent character - great characteristics for any child.

I know loads of Amelie's, it is very popular over the past couple of years. What about Melia

Thanks everyone. I agree they are all very popular which is a shame as we would really like something less common

Amelie will always be confused for Amelia and Emily, considering the popularity of both of those names.

I don't like it. It sounds forced/unnatural when said in a non-French accent.
