Amelie
Phoebe
Willow

What do you think? I love Amelie but Amelia was 2nd top name last year. Is that off putting or should I ignore?

Depends whether you mind her potentially having pals with the same name. Also think it depends on your surname!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/01/2018 21:53

Phoebe is probably the least popular. Although I personally don't like it, but. It's not my baby
I can abide Amelie. It's like a cross between Emily and Amelia gone hideous wrong, but again. It's not my baby.
I cant fault Willow its gorgeous.

windchimesabotage · 24/01/2018 21:54

I like them all but I think Willow is the prettiest and most unusual

Sewblue · 24/01/2018 21:57

Thank you guys. Amélie like that - just remembered how to do accent. Fave fence film
With same name so in France it’s a real name and not a made up 😞😉

Willow then Phoebe would be my choices

remaincalm · 24/01/2018 22:02

Love PhoebeSmile
Amelie is ok.
Not keen on Willow at all, sorry

SpottyBrolly · 24/01/2018 22:05

If you love Amelie go for it.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 24/01/2018 22:10

I think Amelie is nicest.
Then Phoebe.
Can't stand Willow.

AnyaMoondial · 24/01/2018 22:12

I like them all but phoebe is my favourite.

mondler · 24/01/2018 22:19

Aw you have great taste OP! I love Phoebe and Willow but both seem to be getting popular if that bothers you or not? They are so gentle and beautiful sounding (to me anyway).

Amelie is nice, I much prefer it to Amelia! I would imagine that she may get called Amelia a lot by mistake though? Its a great name though and a great film.

Smoliver · 24/01/2018 22:20

I love the film Amelie, so therefore Amelie is a great name in my opinion.
Phoebe and Willow are also gorgeous - they're on my shortlist too. Smile

I think if you name your child Willow you’ll have to hope she grows up tall and willowy or it might not suit her that’s ridiculous I know but you did ask for opinions

I love Amelie, not so keen on Phoebe.

SadieContrary · 24/01/2018 22:32

Amélie is beautiful, French and classy.
Phoebe makes me instantly think of the ditzy one in Friends.
I have a male cat called Willow who is a spoilt and whining pain in the butt so it's too difficult for me to imagine a lovely little girl with that name. Grin

BreakfastLunchPasta · 24/01/2018 22:44

I really like all 3. In light of Amelia's popularity, I'd probably go with Phoebe or Willow.

CuppaTeaTime2 · 24/01/2018 23:09

Willow my a mile.

Amelia, Amelie and Phoebe are so predictable and boring.

CuppaTeaTime2 · 24/01/2018 23:09

by a mile*

Beeziekn33ze · 25/01/2018 00:17

I like Amélie and Annelie

SuperBeagle · 25/01/2018 03:40

I like Phoebe best.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/01/2018 09:32

❤️ Willow.
Sorry don't like the others.

daisypond · 25/01/2018 09:48

I really think Amelie has been done to death since that film - it's nearly 20 years old now, and the name will date terribly. I don't dislike Willow - but it's a cat's name to me. I like Phoebe the best.
