Too many Amelias about.
Grace is beautiful.

fryalot · 15/01/2009 23:05

well I think it's beautiful

ThornyRose · 15/01/2009 23:06

Goes nicely together

helsy · 15/01/2009 23:06

Very pretty. Both quite popular names, though - depends if you're bothered about that.

NimChimpsky · 15/01/2009 23:07

popular as a popular thing on popular week but pretty

mum2b09 · 15/01/2009 23:08

Grace, Mae and Rose are the only middle names that anyone ever seems to choose now and there will be 64 million of them in five years or so. If you don't mind that, fine - I would HATE it!

Amelia is a lovely name and we don't have too many round here either!

CeceliaAhern · 15/01/2009 23:15

I think it's lovely and they both go very well together.
Regarding popularity, if you like it I would still go for it. You are going to be saying it a lot

mum2b09 · 15/01/2009 23:15

i dont mind it being quite a popular name really. although i havent really heard of anyone calling their baby amelia and i just think grace is a beautiful compliment to the name i think it does depend on where you live xxxxxxxxx

I have a ...-Grace, ...-Rose, and a ...-Mae and a Rae chucked in for good measure
Amelia Grace was on our shortlist, i think it is very pretty.

smartiejake · 15/01/2009 23:16

Amelia is lovely (one of dd1s friends is called this and they shorten it to Milly or Mia which is also nice)
Sounds lovely with Grace (dd2 's name)

I think its a beautiful name. My DD aged 2 is called Grace and we still love it even though it appears to be becoming a little more popular.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 16/01/2009 09:28

Its beautiful!

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 16/01/2009 09:29

beautiful - may be predictable on a thread where you see lots of names discussed but in RL it will just remain as a beautufl name.

poppydaisy · 16/01/2009 11:21

Beautiful name, but WAY too popular imo. Not only will there be loads in her school, but such names could well 'date' and, in 20 years' time, be regarded as very '2000s' (like Sharon and Tracy now feel very '1970s').

There are so many other beautiful girls names out there .

lastboxoftampons · 16/01/2009 12:00

Gorgeous!

Songbird · 16/01/2009 12:01

Lovely, hope it goes with your surname

Hulababy · 16/01/2009 12:16

Very pretty.

smellybulldog · 16/01/2009 15:45

Agree with everyone else, pretty but popular. I also agree Grace and Rose and default middle names.

Mum2b09, Amelia was 10th most popular name last year and Grace was number 1.

sonniebonnie · 16/01/2009 16:43

Would have to agree - lovely names but very, very popular! I would be wary of names that become very popular quite quickly as they may sound more 'dated' than others in 5-10 years.

mrsseanbean · 16/01/2009 16:48

Two very pretty names.

lilolilmanchester · 16/01/2009 16:49

Love them both and they go well together. I only know one Amelia round here.
