they are lovely names
the only thing is... was talking to a lovely lady who has a daughter called amelie and she said ppl always think they just spelt emily weird/wrong.
i personally love it tho!
i know a laine and an evie also, but i dont think they are common names
I think Evie is really pretty...haven't heard anyone using any of those names you listed so I definitely don't think they are common. And I must admit - I'm not sure how to pronounce Amelie myself!
I have an Evie here (officially Evelyn). Was not the popular, until the year I used it and suddenly it is top 10 in our area (and I swore never to have a top 10 name). Now DD2 has 2 other Evie's in her room at Childcare, one even has the same initial for their lastname, so very thankful her fullname is Evelyn. I spoke to the one of the other Evie mum and she was like me, thought she was picking an unpopular name.
So as much as I love the name, I would say avoid it if you don't want popular, or at least have it as the nickname.
