please help - Amelie or Sophie/a

[Kotek]

I've already posted a message re my favourite name Anna, but I don't think dp will budge. Which do you prefer of these two names as a first name? Surname is Holmes. Please help. It's getting urgent! Thanks!

Amelie - too many Sophie/a s around - 3 in my ds1's class and 2 in my ds2's class.

Amelie. It's classy and beautiful.

Sophie is popular and boring and is interchangeable with Chloe.

Honestly?

Anna.

But of the two, Sophie.

Sophie or Sophia as timeless, classic and beautiful.

Of those, Sophie. I really don't like Amelie - if you want that name, why not spell it properly (or in English) and use Amelia?

I think it's nearly as common as Sophie where I live. Can't you persuade your DP to go for Anna?

Oh, didn't realise Sophia was on option, prefer that actually.

Amelie

Amelie Holmes sounds like a business. Actually so does Sophia (must be a 3 syllable thing)

Like Sophie, but have to admit I like Anna most of all.

I prefer Anna - its timeless, classic and not too common. Goes well with Holmes.

Sophie, Sophia, Amelie, Amelia are all very common atm, but if I had to choose one, I'd say Sophia.

Sophia or Amelia. Or Anna.

I love the name Amelie but Sofia is a lovely name too.
I've wanted Amelie for a DD through the whole year I was TTC but DP doesn't like it, he just said ''uh? what? no!''
I know it's a bit of a funny name as she'd spend her life saying ''no, Am-e-lie not Emily'' and would have to constantly spell it to people. But despite this I still think it's a lovely name. I also think it looks nice when written IYSWIM?
I think Sophie is a nice name but IMO maybe a bit ordinary and it's been around for a while.

Sophia or Anna.

completely agree with xxhunnyxx. I have an Amelia, and originally wanted her to be Amelie. But I could see her always having to spell it for people and getting called Emily all the time

sophia is beautiful

Sophia

Sophie. But agree with you tht Anna is the one.

sorry can i ask a thick question, how do u pronounce amelie? like emily or am-ellie

i personally love sophie

llynnn, it's just like emily with an 'am' instead of the 'em'. It's French, and quite pretty I think

thanks, yes it is very pretty, ive just always wondered
