Help 💕 I’ve just had a baby girl and we cannot decide between the name Celine or Amelie 💕 I’m booked next week to register her any thoughts on helping me decide 😂💕

Celine makes me think of the singer which just makes it seem very dated. Amelie is nice in a French accent, not great if you live in the UK though.

Celeste?

I work in a school and there are A LOT of Amelies all pronounced wrong.

I'd go with Celine.

Celine.

If you happen to have a French accent, Amelie is pretty. The average English person's 'Ammerly' pronuncation just isn't.

Celine 💕

What about Amelie Celine (Surname)

and congratulations, hope you’re both doing well 💕

Simd1 · 27/04/2023 23:12

I much prefer Celine

Arewehumanorarewecupboards · 27/04/2023 23:16

What about Emilie or Cecilia?

Hanneli · 27/04/2023 23:32

Amelie is a beautiful name. I work in a large school and haven't met one.

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/04/2023 23:35

Selina or Selene (Sell-ee-nee)

Celine makes me think of Dion and also the French versions of names rarely work as well in English as the Latin

Amelie is a bit wet, faddy and overdone.

LaLaLouella · 27/04/2023 23:45

Amelie is a very pretty name but there are LOADS of them around here and all pronounced differently, and in ways which sound a bit wrong to my ears.

I don't love Celine, I just think Dion...

LaLaLouella · 27/04/2023 23:47

How about some other French names?

Anouk, Mathilde, Elise....

I think the name Amelie is beautiful

MiniEggsAllYear · 27/04/2023 23:53

Celine. It's gorgeous.

notangelinajolie · 27/04/2023 23:54

Celine. A beautiful name.

aalleeaahh · 27/04/2023 23:55

Celine

Phopet · 27/04/2023 23:59

100% Celine. So pretty and unique. Amelie is really common at the moment

user1492757084 · 28/04/2023 01:06

I prefer Amelie.

Do you like Camille?

Kokeshi123 · 28/04/2023 01:08

Celine is nice and there are SO many Amelies and similar names around.

I don't think Celine Dion is much of a thing these days.

user1492757084 · 28/04/2023 01:10

Celine is also very beautiful so your daughter will have a great name, regardless.
Which sounds better for a grown woman with the surname?

doeandfawn · 28/04/2023 04:03

Congrats on the birth!

I would go with Amelie, Celine makes me think of the brand.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 28/04/2023 13:24

Celine. But probably spell it Selene because of the comparison with the singer.

ourflagmeansdeath · 28/04/2023 20:24

Amelie for me! Think it's gorgeous.

Stuf · 28/04/2023 20:27

Cecile

Stuf · 28/04/2023 20:28

Cecily
