Ingrid or Amelie

[MaLittleBubbas]

hi- previously made thread 'sister for Violet', and after a lot of lovely suggestions, nothing beat Ingrid or Amelie!
I prefer Amelie but DH prefers Ingrid, but we can't decide on one!
also, I forgot to mention she's four days old and I'm feeling a bit stressed because she needs a name
Big sister is Violet.
Which do you prefer and why? thank you x

Definitely Amelie. Ingrid has a very harsh sound in my opinion and doesn't go with Violet nearly as well as Amelie does. I do however like the suggestion of Astrid, it's a great alternative to Ingrid.

Also, I'm not so sure why people say Amelie is 'overdone' - it seems from another poster's comment that it's 70 something in the UK and here in Australia it's not even in the top 100. I've never met one. Also, people lumping it in with Amelia and Emily as evidence of its popularity makes no sense to me - it's a different name!

Ingrid. Amelie is just a little bit boring since so many people have used it.

Ingrid. You can get your teeth into it. Or Astrid, as others have said.

These days you can't throw a stone without hitting an Amelia/Amelie/Milly/Emily/Emilia. Yes I know they're not the same name, but they just all meld together into a big, twee, dull insipid name soup.

Amelie

Ingrid of the two although I prefer PP suggestions of Imelda or Astrid

I’m really not a fan of Amelie, it gets lost in a sea of Emily/Amelia/Ellie type names and still sounds a bit frilly. It probably goes better with Violet because they’re both softer names, but they won’t always be “violet and sister”, for the vast majority of their lives they won’t be seen as a pair of siblings because they’ll be individual adults with their own friends, colleagues etc. As long as a pair doesn’t sound awful together I don’t think it especially matters whether sibling names go together

Hi everyone, I think we’ve decided on Amelie! Thank you for the suggestions everyone, but I just love Amelie so much I’d regret if I called her anything else. Thank you :) x

Congrats!

If you love a name so much you'd regret it if you didn't use it, it means it's the right name. Congratulations

Congratulations OP. Good choice 😁
