Amelia 😍

Bruce2 · 05/04/2021 22:38

Neither are my cup of tea...very lovely names just a bit too popular for me personally.
If I had to choose then Amelia but I prefer the Emilia spelling

Both lovely names. Especially Amelia. Around here the names would be used with the surname as they are both popular first names.

Operasinger · 05/04/2021 22:42

I love Grace ❤️

HollyBen · 05/04/2021 22:43

I prefer Amelia. I am not a big fan of Grace, not sure why just not jeen

Both are lovely, Grace is a classic.

Amelia

Was just going to say the same. Probably a few of each in each of my DS' classes.

Amelia Grace

Both nice names but prefer Emilia to Amelia. Not much to choose between the two on your shortlist.

Reinventinganna · 05/04/2021 22:59

Grace. Amelia has become really popular.

Unreasonabubble · 05/04/2021 23:01

Amelia

Violetlavenders · 05/04/2021 23:11

Both a little dull from overuse imo.

Thedogscollar · 05/04/2021 23:28

Grace by a country mile.

letterstospring · 05/04/2021 23:37

They’re both lovely names but I would choose Grace. You could call her Gracie when she’s little and then she could use Grace when she gets older. Or you could name her Amelia Grace?

RickOShay · 05/04/2021 23:44

Grace definitely

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/04/2021 23:46

Both are lovely classic names- but also super popular, so of the two I'd chose Amelia.

With Amelia if there is another in her group/class she has the option of a nn (Amy/Millie/Mila/Mia/Lia etc) rather than being known by Amelia Surname (it also gives her more options if for some reason she dislikes it when older).

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/04/2021 23:52

I'd say use both Amelia-Grace is gorgeous and just rolls off the tongue

EggOops · 06/04/2021 07:57

I know a lot of Amelias but that is because it is a lovely name! I think Grace is used a lot as a middle name. Grace would be my favourite as a first name .

Both nice but I’d go Amelia

sarah13xx · 06/04/2021 08:06

Always loved Amelie too

Mumoblue · 06/04/2021 08:11

Amelia.

I’ve never been a fan of Grace. Probably because I knew a Grace who was just awful, funny how one person can put you off a name for life!

FedNlanders · 06/04/2021 08:11

I prefer grace just because Amelia is a name of a disorder.
