Nickname for amelie

Both dh and I love the name Amelie, but we are also quite fond of nicknames. Dd1 is Harriet but we call her Hattie.

Any suggestions? I don't like leelee, do others think Mimi or Mila could work?

The Amelie we know goes by Ammi quite a lot. Rhymes with Hammy. I like it.

Ammie or Mimi would be the ones that seem most obvious to me.

WhichJob · 25/09/2017 13:34

Amelie and Hattie are quite similar sounding though.

A friend's DD is Amelie, they call her Milly

I have an Amelie and my dad calls her Ams. A nickname tends to arrive organically. My nicknames for her have nothing to do with her name!

It's a great name!

I know one who gets called Me-lee and another called Mil-ya.

whichjob really? I know they both have an "ee" ending but I didn't think they were that similar?

I think both Mila and Mimi would work fine :) as would Ammie and Milly! As another person who likes a pre picked nickname I think introduce it straight away and everyone will follow suit. I personally would pick Mimi as it's a bit more unusual so you have a quite popular name in Amelie and an unusual nickname in Mimi...best of both worlds :)

I know a Mimi and a Millie.
However I agree with a pp that nicknames often arrive of their own accord rather than being the ones you'd planned.

NC4now · 25/09/2017 15:13

I know an Amelie / Milly.

Ameliablue · 25/09/2017 15:14

My dd has a friend Amelie and she tends to call her Ammee.

MammieBear · 25/09/2017 15:22

Amy
Ammy
Millie
Lee
Ellie
Can all be used with Amelie.

Smoliver · 25/09/2017 17:00

The nicknames that spring to my mind are Amy, Millie and Ammie

kittycatcat849 · 25/09/2017 17:03

Ami, Millie, Amy, Miley, Lee

DML00 · 26/09/2017 16:39

We love the name Amelie too! It's our chosen name for DD #2 who is due any day now. We're planning on calling her Millie as a nn

SunSeaAndSangria · 26/09/2017 16:42

Mimi is cute.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 26/09/2017 17:03

Agree that Amelie and Hattie are a bit too similar, especially if you use Mimi as a nn...

mummytwoh · 26/09/2017 22:04

Beautiful name, I would say Millie would be the natural nn

A friends child got Lee when she was little. Then started calling her LeeLee just as a joke.

Then it stuck when they saw this perfume! LeeLee did seem quite cute on a small child.
