WDYT of Amelie?

[~me~]

I love Amelie, my niece is an Amelie She is quirky like the Amelie in the movie.

A friend of mine has an Isla and an
Amelie I love both names and think they go lovely together

[YoYo]

I love it so much!! It was on DH veto list. He's such a punk!

[TeniBear]

I love it too It goes fantastically with Isla as well!

I love it. A lady in front of me in the supermarket had a beautiful little newborn and her name was Amelie. It's one of those names that made me think "Arggh! Why wasn't that one on my list!!".

As for people thinking it's Emily, that can happen with any name. People think DD1 is called 'Gloria' (C laudia) and DD2 is a boy named Miller (M illa). It's generally strangers who get it wrong so they don't really matter

[RhiChiChi]

I love it, it's on our list of girls names (well mine anyway) It is the French version of Amelia I believe

[sangie]

Love, love, love it!

[beansbeans!]

Love it!

[LimeSlice]

Love it! Was on the top of my list for a while, but too close to a family angel so we decided against it.
I think it goes with Isla really well

I like Esmae, makes me think of Esme Watson ;p

[Lily Dust]

LOVE it!

[Rowellen]

Love it It made our short list.

I think is lovely and after the film lots of people will recognize it a distinct from Emilie or Emily.

Personally I wouldn't go with he accent as you are not French purely because when typing rather than writing most people here will drop it anyway. We know a gorgeous little girl called A*n*a*ë*l*l*e (her mum is French - think Anna Elle for pronunciation) and I do try to always include the two dots, but on phones etc is harder.

People will always mix things up though - DD is Cerys people think is Paris (which makes me laugh as anyone who knows me would know that there is no way that Paris is a name I personally would choose).

[Kazzo]

I adore it too. I wanted it so badly but my DH always pronounced wrong and if he could not say it right it was not a name I was going to always correct him on so we caleed DD1 Amelia.

It goes lovely with your DD

Love, love, love it! I wanted to use it for DD but DH stated it "wasn't a real name" (a phrase he uses for anything that is not 100% normal and popular.....makes choosing names very fun for me...not!)

[LuluHB]

I love it too - was one of our very short listed names

[lilima]

Love it! Was on my list, but ended up choosing E milia instead.
