Thank you everyone for all your help on my last thread.

We decided on Sebastian for a boy.

However if it’s a girl most votes were for Amelie or Emily.

My husband prefers Emily as it’s classic
I do like Emily but feel it’s dated? Amelie is more fresh.

What do you think? Please vote one!

That’s great @robin04031402, but OP had a wee boy whom she called Sebastian (Seb for short).

I love Amelie!
Lovely change to Emily you hear everywhere you go.
Always came across Emilys but have yet to meet an Amelie

NameChange30 · 14/01/2020 17:27

Congratulations! Lovely name
30 hours is quite a feat! Well done you and I hope you're being waited on hand and foot while you recover

@Expectingmum84 yay thank you so much for updating us! What a gorgeous name xxx

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/01/2020 15:45

Congratulations and a for baby Seb. He must be all squishy

Congratulations!

Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for your help.
I know a lot of you requested an update, so after 30 hours of labour I finally met my baby BOY!

We welcomed Sebastian “Seb” into the world ❤️ And I am truly in love.

Also glad it was a boy, because I was still undecided for a girls name.

Thank you all.

Both very common! I teach 5 Amelie's (2 classes) and 3 Emily's and 2 Emilie's this year

pinkpanther84 · 13/01/2020 10:39

Amelie

PlantPotting · 13/01/2020 10:37

I vote Emily and don’t find it dull in the slightest! I love it

Ninkanink · 13/01/2020 10:19

Yes, good luck!

Flymetothestars · 13/01/2020 10:08

Good luck with induction @Expectingmum84

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/01/2020 10:08

Like Emily but with a lower case A at the start.

Ninkanink · 13/01/2020 09:53

Amelie.

30620Kay · 13/01/2020 09:49

How is Amelie pronounced?

Poorolddaddypig · 13/01/2020 00:33

Amelie. Agree that Emily is insanely dull

EL8888 · 13/01/2020 00:30

Emily

CalmFizz · 13/01/2020 00:22

Emily, classic.

A

Amalie

Insaneinthemembury · 13/01/2020 00:13

Amelie is lovely

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 13/01/2020 00:09

I love Amelie, but won't she get Amy as a nickname? How do you feel about Amy?

I dislike Emily, but that's due to a bad experience with a girl called Emily.
