Emilia or Amelia

[Raspber]

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

Amelia

Most people will pronounce them the same. I know an Amelia well, and have never heard anyone say Am-elia.

*Emilia = E (as in egg)

Amelia = A (as in apple)*

Exactly. They start with different letters so why wouldn't you pronounce those letters?

Ah me lee ah

Em ill yah

Amelia looks and sounds so much nicer. Emilia, to me, always looks like you’ve spelt Amelia wrong/‘uniquely’ (I’m well aware they’re different names)

Don't like either ( sorry ) but Emilia looks and sounds nicer.
Amelia is just so harsh sounding and it's all I hear doing the school drop off
"Ameeeeeeeeeeeelia"

Emilia is beautiful.

The Emilia we know is pronounced Amelia.

I think I prefer Amelia.

Emilia looks micer

I much prefer Emilia. In fact, it was our top girls name when we had our son!

Much prefer Amelia.

Emilia i feel like it's different and not as popular

Emilia. DD was nearly this, I dreamt shortly before her birth that this would be her name, with Emmy as a nickname. Wasn't even on the list before. However decided to stick with top list name in the end as it was too much 'on a whim'. But lovely name.

they are very similar in pronunciation in every day speech. i like how Emilia looks better. I also prefer Emily (and Sophie!).

Emilia.

Amelia is a birth defect.

Emilia by a mile!

This was my name for DD, but DH vetoed it.

I imagine different people would pronounce it differently, depending on their dialect. But to me, there is clear difference between Emilia and Amelia.

Em-ee-lee-ah
A-mee-lee-ah

The name worked well for Emilia Fox, so I say go for the name you prefer x

I am still unclear what the correct pronunciation of Emilia should be. Many people seem to pronounce Amelia and Emilia the same, so to be honest I don't really see the point of Emilia. Just stick to Amelia, which everyone agrees on!
