Emilia

What’s your opinion on the name Emilia? Is it bound to be confused for Amelia all the time? Also, do you think Emilia Evelina or Emilia Daphne sound good for a first and middle?

Yes, it will be confused with Amelia a lot of the time.

Generally, middle names aren't used in day to day life, so, as long as it isn't a ridiculous name (for the odd occasions it is used) I wouldn't worry too much about it 'going'.

I don't think it would be confused with Amelia all the time but I think it's very very popular and that's what would put me off it. Obviously some people don't mind about that so ignore if you are one of those!

I really like it but I do think it would be confused with Amelia a lot. What about Emilene as an alternative, I think it's a lovely name.

Emilia is lovely but she will have to spell her name out to people. We have a friend with an Emilia and we spelt it Emelia on a card once and her parents were not too pleased!

Agree with previous poster that Emmeline is another nice name (this spelling though). I think Emilia is very usable though!

I do think they sound very similar when you actually say both names.
But this is a decision for you to make, and if you really like the name, then go for it.

My lovely friend named her dad Emila. I have never heard anyone mispronounce the name as Amelia. I think it’s a really nice name (classy without sounding too pretentious)

Dad! * DD I meant to say!

It's lovely, subtly different to Amelia & nicer IMO.

I like Emilia Daphne. Emilia Evelina is a bit much.

It’s my friends daughters name and for the life of me I still can’t hear the difference between Emilia and Amelia when said quickly. I have to pause and really concentrate on emphasising the Em sound. For this reason I can’t seen to like it.

It's ok but Amelia is massively common still. Amelia and Emilia sound the same to me.
How about Emmi?

Yes she will probably be confused with Amelia sometimes, but that wouldn't be enough to stop me using it if I loved it. They are pronounced the same, so of course that will happen. However people who know your Emilia will know her name! Emilia Daphne is a good combo - not keen on Evelina with it.

I love it. It’s nicer than Amelia.

I know an Emilia who is frequently mistake for Amelia

I always try to emphasise the Em when I say her name

I much prefer Amelia or Emily

To my ears Emilia and Amelia sound exactly the same: uh-meely-ah.

So I'd imagine people will generally assume she's called the more common Amelia. Not a massive issue but one to be aware of.

Emilia Daphne is lovely.

Emilia Evelina is too repetitive and sounds a little ridiculous

Emilia Daphne is lovely

There's are so many girls called Emily/Amelie/Amelia/Emilia already. Personally I'd choose something less popular

Sorry There are

Daphne is a lovely name! I'd use that as first name
