I really like this name for a girl, but DH has reservations 😂
What does everyone think?!

It's pretty but fairly common where I live, also sounds a lot like Amelia (also popular) not as unique as it may have been a ew years ago.

Most people will know it but he should love it too. Try the movie on him.

Very pretty. So much nicer than Amelia in my opinion

Reminds me of a horrible ex colleague who got sacked for stealing. That's just me though.

I love it. It’s especially gorgeous with a French accent 👩🏼‍🎨

It’s rather less gorgous with some British regional dialects.

I like the film, but I'm with your DH.

A bit twee and cutesy, I think because of the film association.

Dull and cutesy. Not a fan.

I don't like it much. It's said as Ammerly in the UK. Emily is nicer. Amelia is a bit too twee for me but it's better than Amelie.

It's nice but very popular in my area, often read as amelia.

My sister is an Amelie (32yo) and was the only one I knew for years, it was very uncommon to the point that people either called her amelia and Emily... As a result she's gone by Amy since she was about 7.

It's been popular for years, I still prefer it to Amelia, both are pretty.

It's pretty with a French accent but fairly pedestrian in English.
