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!

I much prefer Emily, it's not dates it just a classic.

I find Amelie a bit meh, and as others have said a bit try hard.

Love Sebastian

Flymetothestars · 12/01/2020 19:37

Emily definitely gets my vote

(Sebastian is a lovely name too)

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 12/01/2020 21:42

I like pp suggestion of Emilia. Classic and pretty.

I know a baby Sebastian and it (sorry) sounds weird calling a small child such a long old name; but equally so, Seb sounds really blunt and harsh (spoken as a fellow single syllable namer).

Emily get my vote

yogo · 12/01/2020 22:09

What about Eliza ? Just as if you can't decide maybe you've not found the right name yet.

Thestrangestthing · 12/01/2020 22:10

Emily, there are too many Amelie's now

guineapig1 · 12/01/2020 22:11

Amelie

HelloRoaring20s · 12/01/2020 22:11

I like equally.

many years ago ds would have been Emilia
(We have Italian roots) if he was a girl.

By the way I also have a Sebastian Smile

Sorry my post is not a great help.

FREEM · 12/01/2020 22:12

Emily
I have one and although sounds v popular shes the only one in her primary school.of 250 ish kids

Charis1503 · 12/01/2020 22:16

I also vote Emily but spelt Emilie - just zazzes it up abit!

I also like the name Ottilie which maybe a similar vibe to what your going for?

PPopsicle · 12/01/2020 22:17

Emily! There aren’t that many around now

diddlediddle · 12/01/2020 22:18

Please don't spell it Emilie! Just cheapens a classic name. Emilia is ok.

Dollymixture22 · 12/01/2020 22:20

Keep to classic spelling. Don’t agree it makes it special, just a bit more awkward. Counts the same.

Jayteedee · 12/01/2020 22:21

I would go Emilia or Emmeline (the latter is my fav)

Flymetothestars · 12/01/2020 22:25

Emily ❤️
Good luck with induction please update us!

NameChange30 · 12/01/2020 22:25

Are you or DH French?
If one of you is French, Amélie (with the accent).
If neither is French, Emily.

I love Sebastian! (Incidentally French too, although spelt Sébastien.)

Kittywampus · 12/01/2020 22:50

Emily

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/01/2020 00:06

Emily is not dated. It's one of those names th will always be round so will never date.

I don't like Amelie. It's funny way and name can be just one letter out yet change your whole opinion.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/01/2020 00:07

Oh yes Good luck. Be sure to update. X

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.

Insaneinthemembury · 13/01/2020 00:13

Amelie is lovely

user1471449295 · 13/01/2020 00:18

Amalie

CalmFizz · 13/01/2020 00:22

Emily, classic.

Emily

Poorolddaddypig · 13/01/2020 00:33

Amelie. Agree that Emily is insanely dull
