Amelise or Ameline and middle name choice - please help ;)

[Rachelhaydenberk1]

I'm trying to honor my grandma Ama with a variation of her name for my daughter. After much thought and many names ruled out (I dont want any confusion with Emily or Amelia), I'm down to Amelise and Ameline. I got a lot of criticism for Amelise even though I still find it so stunning. I'm struggling with middle name pairings if I go with Ameline instead.

Choices:

Amelise Madeleine
Ameline Madalie
Ameline Natalie
Ameline Loleta

Which do you prefer? Thank you much for the help!

I would probably do Madeleine for Amelise, Amia, or Amarlie.

If I go with Ameline I need middle name help because I dont think Madeleine works. Too rhymey. I think I like Lola or Natalie so far. I did like Lolette but does that sound too risque or bad?

After a lot of discussion, we decided to scrap the Ama names as first names and go with Harlow Ameline.

Harlow is becoming a bit trendy but it sounds really good with our last name and trying to find the perfect Ame/Ama name has been making me so stressed out. As a first name I kept wanting to pronounce Ameline like Ame- line. Like waiting on line. Like Caroline. That isnt even correct! Its pronounced Ama-leen. So I just decided it would go better as a middle name. I still love Amelise but no one else seemed to.

I think I'm actually good with Harlow Ameline.

Why not use Ama.

Ameline Lola is my favourite.
I guess it may be misheard as Amelie though (also a beautiful name).
I really don't like Amelise sorry!

I second just using Ama. It's nicer than the made up names (and Harlow in my opinion)

OP I’m surprised you prefer Harlow over Marlow, given your other preferences.
No matter what you decide I’m sure she’ll be a gorgeous baby

I wouldn't use Harlow.
People will say 'is that with a silent t?' or pronounce it Arlo.

Amara?

She’s going to spend her whole life being mistaken for Annelise. Just call her your granny’s actual name or pick a real name rather than these inventions which just look bizarre, sorry.

If grandma was just "Ama" why can't baby be?
I know an Amalia which is ok.

Other Ama based names
Amari
Amarissa
Amaya
Amara
Amabelle
Amal

Have you considered Alma? I think that’s beautiful

Um, amylase is, to be specific, the enzyme found in saliva (spit). That could be unfortunate when her class realised.

Amaryllis would be a flower.
