Emelia or Amelie?

[mummysparkles95]

What does everyone think of the name Emelia or Amelie? Or does anyone have any name suggestions like these? Has to be a pretty girly name .... i love the name Emelia atm... TIA

Emilia (that spelling) is really lovely.

I don't like Emelia or Amelia.

Amelie only sounds nice if you happen to have a French accent.

Amelia or maybe Emilia.

Amelie is very French, and became very popular after the film of the same name 20-odd years ago, so might be a bit much, unless you have french connections.

Emelia is an unusual spelling and she will constantly have it spelt wrongly or have to correct people.

I have a best friend called Emelia.. so my vote goes for that!

I love Amelie, was on the list for girls (we ended up having a boy)!!

neither, sorry

I think Amelie is really lovely.

Emilia is nice but I find I naturally say Amelia and have to try to say the E sound.... maybe that’s just me though.

Emilia (that spelling) is really lovely.

Otherwise you're mixing pronunciations. Either i is Italian and pronounced ee or it's not. Emelia is either eh-mel-ee-a (yuk) or eh-meh-liah. It's not eh-mee-lee-a which is I think what you're going for.

That was rough phonetically so I may have got that wrong!

Amelie

Emelia will spend her life saying "no, not Emilia, or Amelia"

If you can get past that, it's much preferable to the ubiquitous Amelie.

I love Emilia. Not keen on the Emelia spelling, it looks like you are trying to make a unique name out of Amelia and Emilia - I'm someone who has a normal name spelled slightly differently and having people constant spelling it wrong is a pain.

Emilia is great, and I prefer that spelling.

Sorry not keen on any of these names, they all seem a bit too similar to each other and overused. I agree that Amelie sounds so much nicer with a French accent. I’d probably go for Emily though if it was my choice, or something completely different altogether.

I have an Amelie, never had any problems with her name. Her French cousins don’t say her name too differently to how we say it tbh.

Definitely Amelie!

Emilia for me.

This but I add that Emilia will be called Amelia a lot.

If you like French sounding names what about Elodie?

Meant to say it sounds similar to Amelie but don't seem to hear it as often. I know one Elodie and six Amelies.

I like Emilia - I would not spell it Emelia as it's a hybrid of Amelia and Emilia which will just end up with confused spelling. I much prefer Emilia to Amelia so would go with that.

The trouble with Elodie is the same as Amelie, they are nice in a French accent but not in a standard UK accent. Elodie becomes yet another El name and Amelie blends in with the Emily, Emilia,, Amelia type names.

Emilia is a lovely name.

Aurelia
Sofia
Cecilia
Eloise
Anais
Melissa
Clementine
Lucia
Celeste
Pearl
Serena
Emma
Chiara

Amelia or Emilia are both nice (spell them properly though or it will be a real irritation for her.)

Amelie sounds a lot better in a French accent IMO.
