Amelia has been around for centuries - I really don't think it's going to date too much!

mum2b09 · 16/01/2009 16:50

i dont realy mind it being quite popular 2bh, i think it really depends on where your from as i havent heard of many amelia graces being born around here lol. i dont really agree that grace is a default name i chose it because its a beautiful name and my partner wasnt a huge fan so we used it as a middle name i like how amelias shortened to milly or mil aswel :D xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lovely names but there are three Amelias in my music group, out of twenty children. Actually half of them are boys, so out of ten really.

I don't want to read the thread but this is the name we gave our child we m/c Amelia Grace (Millie)

Hayao · 16/01/2009 17:02

It's very very pretty.

LynetteScavo · 16/01/2009 17:08

Erm....it's the loveliest name ever. But then I'm biased.

LynetteScavo · 16/01/2009 17:11

Whitenose, you couldn't have given your DD a lovlier name.

mum2b09 · 16/01/2009 17:16

gorgeous names and Amelia is not that common at all, only know one!

kerala · 16/01/2009 17:20

They are great if you dont mind the popularity thing. Grace more than Amelia though. Every other girl around here is called Grace. Personally think Grace is a bold choice as there is always the risk that the child isnt umm graceful and people may snigger. But thats just me - lovely names.

LynetteScavo · 16/01/2009 17:35

mum2B09 - Amelia is very popular around here. If Id' know it was going to be so popular I would have probably chosen something else.

silverfairy · 16/01/2009 17:58

Amelia very popular still o.k.
Grace a bit popular and nothingy in the middle name slot. I'd rather have no middle name at all than use May, Grace or Rose as a middle name.

PersephoneSnape · 16/01/2009 18:48

sounds nice together - amelia is a favourite - it makes me think your little girl will be intrepid!

LynetteScavo · 16/01/2009 18:53

Intrepid indeed!

Amelia means "Hardworking" which I think is a nice combination with Grace.

Tinker · 16/01/2009 18:54

Pretty but they'll be loads of them

Tinker · 16/01/2009 18:56

I don't think they'll date like Sharon and Tracy. Controversial but, did Sharon and Tracy ever actually sound nice?

Lotster · 16/01/2009 18:59

Agree it's a very "now" name, but lovely.

Moominpappa · 16/01/2009 22:12

We have an Emilia Grace!

cheltmum · 17/01/2009 10:48

You say you don't know any Amelias. You'll probably find a lot of the Millies you know are actually Amelias. Sometimes Amelia is shortened to Amy too.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with popular names. If you love it, just go for it.

Elfrida · 17/01/2009 15:41

Both very popular names.

Spoo · 17/01/2009 15:42

I think they are lovely names.

chancelloroftheexCHEQUERS · 17/01/2009 15:53

Popular names are popular because they are nice.

CrackopentheBaileys · 17/01/2009 15:54

My dd is Amelia Ava and people quite often comment that it's such a pretty name

wotulookinat · 17/01/2009 16:04

Personally I wouldn't use either names as I just don't like them, but they are popular right now so, if you like them, why not?

nappyaddict · 17/01/2009 18:53

Nice but both names very popular so it depends if you mind that.
