Amelia or Elise?

[Rainbow_Mumma]

I've voted for Amelia as that was my girls name (Amelia Grace) and now as we are having 2 boys and no more after this I can't use it ... now im babbling lol i love the name so yeh theres my answer!

I guess that's the trouble with our accent hey, Elise, does become Alise sometimes. My bestie is 'Ellen' and I have to work hard not to say 'Allan'.

With Amelia, are you okay with 'Millie' as a nickname? Most Millie's I know are actually Amelias.

Amelia is such a pretty name! I'm pretty sure we are having another boy, but if we happen to have a girl then I think we are decided on Amelia Grace (great minds MrsS!). Good luck with your decision

That's exactly what he was thinking, our accent making it more on an 'A' than an 'E'.

Voted Amelia!

we have an Emelia here

I like both, but with the options to vote, I voted Amelia.

The Doctor Who character Amelia shortens hers to Amy.

I voted Amelia 'cause it is DD's name (Amelia Kate). I don't shorten it but DS does as he can't quite say it properly yet, so he calls her Mia.

I love Elise too. It's on our list if we have another one.

Well I'm gonna go against the grain here LOL as my DD's middle name is Elise after my beautiful younger sister Elise !!!

My sister Elise has most people instantly pronounce her name with the Al (usually Aussies) and yet she gets it with the E sound more from ethnic people ... She honestly loves either it's only when people forget and go to call her Elisa she gets annoyed. My sister has always made it known she loves her name and has met only two Elise's I'm her lifetime ... Funny thing is they all had blonde hair and brown eyes.

I forgot to mention before after my DD was born I came across the name Trelise, or is that too different for you ?

Just to throw more confusion into the mix...what about Amelie?

[sconeonamission]

The little girl round the corner is Amelie. When I met her, I told DS that this was Emily. Boy, wasn't her mother quick to correct me! Perhaps if she didn't say it so quickly and quietly, I'd have gotten it right the first time. I know now!

It's nice too by the way!

I like the name Amelie, but DH is not a fan of 'unsual names', besides, his young cousin is named Emily so it might be a bit confusing (that being said, I still had 'Emily' on my shortlist - I've always loved the name!!)
