Sophie or Amelie

[dreamygirl25]

Which of these names do you prefer? Long time to decide and maybe something better will come up but in the meantime these are the top two. Are there other names that would work in France and the UK?

Amelie

I adore Juliette!

My daughter nearly was Amelie but honestly I got so fed up hearing my husband say "Emily" and thinking how annoying it must be for her to have to correct people all the time, so we went with something else. Maybe it's not a problem in reality though, just in my head

Sophie. Timeless and classy.

I love them both - would be so pretty for sisters! I just listened to the French pronunciation of Amelie and it sounds gorgeous.
In the UK I'd go for Sophie I think.

Amelie is beautiful. Spelt Amélie in French I think? I’ve never really liked Sophie but that’s just a personal preference, it’s a perfectly fine name.

Other French names - Eloise, Eliane, Elodie, Colette, Cosette, Georgette, Adeline, Nicole, so many beautiful names!

Both are very nice names.

Audrey,
Ottilie,
Adele
Sylvie
Fleur
Camille

would also work well.

If it's a French name you're looking for specifically I think you can do better than either Sophie or Amelie. Both so dull.

I really like both Sophie and Amelie, other names that might work are Elise, Charlotte, Catherine, Juliette

Names that work in France and UK:
Manon
Louise or Louisa
Emma
Alice but will be Aleece in France

I don't know about Sophie but Amélie is a bit middle-aged in France

Sophie

Amelie gets butchered in most English accents (imo)

Anna
Emma
Juliette
Camille
Beatrice

Here's a list of the Top 100 girls' names in France for 2020. Interestingly neither Sophie or Amelie feature. Jade is No.1 though and I imagine that would give a lot of MNers an attack of the vapours.

I like Romy, Léna, Elena, Salomé and Zélie

Sophie is beautiful, that would be my choice.
