    What do you think of this name?

    Aamilah

    Its prononced Aa-meal-a (Aa is sort of a slight Ar sound).

    This is the arabic spelling.

    Thanks

    I think that it sounds pretty. Just some things to think about, I think that she will be constantly correcting people that her name is not 'Amelia' and she will also be spelling it out alot.

    I truley believe that if you love the name, use it, I have a name that I constantly repeat and spell out and although I tried to avoid that with my daughters I try not to let it bother me with my name.

    I don't mind it, but I pronounced it as A-mil-a when I first read it, not like you pronounced it.

    I like it but agree with DaintreeDream about the constant correcing but if you are okay with that and you like it, then you shouls use it.

    Do you like Amira? I hve a gf with that name and I have always thought it was so beautiful. Its pronounce Ah-MEER-ah.

    I think she will spend her entire life explaining how to pronounce it sadly.

    I really like it, it sounds very pretty. Although I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the spelling - I think it's the Aa at the beginning.

    Agree with what Daintree has said. My DD name is Rhianna & she gets called Rhiannon all the time :S Anyway it is a pain to correct people all the time but my DD knows her name & that is all that matters plus we love it

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I always seem to find these names that I like, but the child will have to correct it their whole live. As much as I like a name, maybe its best avoided if they are going to be constantly correcting people. Something to think about anyway.

    BellaBambina - I really like Amira,very pretty.
