Emilia or Amelia

[Raspber]

Thanks, and am i right in thinking they are pronounced the same?

Emilia for me.

I pronounce them differently, and I prefer the look and sound of Emilia.

I would think Em-ilea as in Emma or Am-ilea as in Amber.

I prefer Amelia.

I pronounce them differently

Emilia = Emily-ya
Amelia = A-mee-liya

Which do you actually want?

I'd say them the same but I prefer Emilia spelling

I would pronounce them almost the same bit with a slight emphasis on the E in Emilia, an e sound like egg rather than ee. E-mee-liya.
Amelia I would pronounce like Uh-mee-liya.
Emilia is my preference. It was our second choice for one of our DC.

Amelia is the more common English name and in my opinion the nicer one. Four syllables.

Emilia requires a poncy diphthong at the end Em-il-ya. If it’s a family name or you’re half Italian or something, then it’s very pretty. Otherwise I think it’s a bit unnecessarily fancy. (Personally I like Emily better than either. But I also prefer Sophie to Sophia, so take this as you will.)

Emilia is nicer.

Emiliana is also nice.

I think i prefer the Emilia spelling, just a bit unsure about the pronunciation.
However as i think people would assume it's Amelia, i don't know whether just using that would be better?

I would be saying Em-eeee-lia
And Am-e—lia
But both nice names but not the same name imo xx

Emilia, yes, I really like it.

Amelia, no, I really really don’t!

Why would they think it's Amelia?

It just sounds like the start of Emily Eh-Mee-LEe-A

I pronounce them differently too, like Childrenofthesun but with a "poncy diphthong" at the end. So three syllables.

Prefer Emilia, have never liked Amelia.

Emilia.

No. Emilia is prounced with the E. Amelia is pronounced with A. Two different names.
Amelia is much prettier.

Amelia means no limbs, so I prefer Emilia. I would pronounce them almost the same. Emilia has more nickname potential.

It's definitely not Emily-ah. It's Emeel-ya. Which is still slightly different from Ameel-ya.

I prefer Emilia.

Prefer Emilia. I would pronounce them with the emphasis on the E and A with Amelia but the rest would be meel-ya. They are different names.

How can E-milia and A-milia be pronounced the same ?

They are different names.

Sorry Amelia. Even more different!

I'd say Eh'meeleea for Emilia and Uh'meeleea for Amelia. I prefer Amelia. Though Emmeline is nice.

Emilia is my favourite

I think I pronounce Emilia as "immeelia" and Amelia as "uhmeelia". I know one Emilia, and most people seem to pronounce her the same as I'd pronounce Amelia.

I pronounce them differently at the beginning of the name:

Emilia = E (as in egg)

Amelia = A (as in apple)

I prefer Emilia.

Amelia for me. Just seems more classic and looks more elegant.

I personally don’t like these names. They’re very popular and don’t sound particularly nice. And there’s always people who say they’re pronounced differently and then people who pronounce them the same. Although, when you say the name normally, it’s often hard to tell whether you pronounced an ‘em’ or ‘am’.
