    Depends on how you want it pronounced? If it
    Is suppose to be Amelia then I think you should spell it that way.

    I rarely post in baby name threads, but saw this one and couldn't resist. I'm stuck (in a good way) on the name Emilia - in fact, if we'd had ... or do have ... a girl it would likely be the front-runner name. Love it, love it, love it.

    Love it! If my boy had been a girl this time, that's what he was going to be called.

    Thanks for the comments...

    It is to be pronounced with an "eh" at the begining (as in Emily).

    I am stuck on it too.. IMO it has a more grown up / sophisticated feel to it then Emily and she is not likely to be the 5th Emilia in her class..

    I love it - one of the characters in my favourite Shakespeare play (Othello) is Emilia and I've always associated it with that I think if it's pronounced the way it's spelled (ie, Eh-milia instead of Ah-melia) then it's all good Very pretty name, and traditional but also unique!

    My Emilia does get called Amelia a lot of the time by people. It is really subtle on the E so people think you are saying A
