Isla or Amelie

Thanks to everyone who posted on my previous thread about my sister who wants to name her daughter Amelie.

She is trying to find other names, and has taken a liking towards Isla and wants to know the general opinion of which people prefer most: Amelie or Isla.

Thank you

Definitely Amelie.

Pemba · 05/01/2019 13:32

Not another Isla! Amelie is pretty.

Isla

I love Amelie. There are so many Islas at the moment.

Santababyclaus · 05/01/2019 14:00

Amelie purely because there's so many Islas where I live

TidyDancer · 05/01/2019 16:37

There are a tonne of both of these where I live, both are nice names but very common now (not that that's necessarily a bad thing but you may want to consider it).

Isla.

Shadow1234 · 05/01/2019 23:52

Amelie by far

villainousbroodmare · 05/01/2019 23:55

Three girls in my preschooler's class... all three are called Isla!

Astronica · 06/01/2019 00:01

I prefer Amelie.

Is she open to suggestions? Names I like more with similar sounds/feel:
Autumn
Eleanor
Imogen
Indigo
Briony
Amity
Lilah
Dimity
Eliza
Anthea

Amelie

lanbro · 06/01/2019 08:11

Both lovely names but in my opinion overused, unimaginative and a little bit boring...Both my dds have unusual, but not daft, names that don't even show on the listings for the years they were born and I love that they stand out

peachypetite · 06/01/2019 22:33

Ianbro what are they?

SuzieAndBess · 06/01/2019 22:38

My DD is the same as Ianbro but I really don’t see why a name being popular should put people off. DN has a popular name, let’s say Ella but she is our Ella and totally unique!

Isla

LemonBeachTowels · 08/01/2019 10:58

Isla is so common these days!

Marcipex · 08/01/2019 11:25

They're both pretty names, very popular for a reason.
People with first babies, who aren't going to baby and toddler groups, often don't know what the 'in' names are.
I think I prefer Isla out of the two, it's lovely.

Betty36 · 08/01/2019 11:40

Amelie is nicer

Pearlgrey1 · 08/01/2019 11:48

Amelie
Isla is very common these days x
