My Baby's new name

I've narrowed down a list of over 50 names for my baby girl. Which would be a good name for my baby girl ? Charlotte or Amelia ?

Charlotte

Charlotte

Everyone will pick Charlotte because MN hate popular names, and Charlotte is slightly less popular than Amelia. But I will go against the grain and say I love Amelia...it’s melodic and feminine.

Charlotte out the two. Amelia is not pleasant and has a really whiny sound.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/02/2019 06:11

Amelia.

Charlotte

Both are lovely. If you can't decide now wait until she comes. We had a list of about 5 names when out youngest was born.

Charlotte

Amelia, sounds much nicer and seems a lot less dated.

Bamchic · 20/02/2019 07:08

I’d go for Emilia, but I’m biased it’s my name!
FWIW I’m a twin and my sister is called Charlotte! They’re both lovely.

Charlotte

Charlotte

Cbeebiesrehab · 20/02/2019 07:43

Charlotte.
I wouldn’t use Amelia because of the medical meaning.

IncrediblySadToo · 20/02/2019 07:45

What was her old name?

Opheliablox · 20/02/2019 07:46

Agree with pp re Emilia.

KindnessCrusader · 20/02/2019 07:48

To me Amelia sounds more like a noise than a name. I'm not crazy about either but I'd go with Charlotte of the two.

Both are nice. I prefer Charlotte.

gossipgirl28 · 20/02/2019 08:33

I prefer Charlotte

Sophronia · 20/02/2019 11:03

Not keen on either, but Charlotte out of the two.

MikeUniformMike · 20/02/2019 11:13

Charlotte. Not keen on Amelia.

CloserIAm2Fine · 20/02/2019 13:29

I love both but I think I prefer Charlotte

punishmepunisher · 20/02/2019 13:35

Charlotte. Seems like everyone and their dog is Amelia right now.

HalfBloodPrincess · 20/02/2019 13:38

Amelia is so much nicer. Charlotte is a nice name but a bit plain.

Crunchymum · 20/02/2019 14:21

What were some of the other names?

I prefer Charlotte of the two but don't love it.
