Amelia and Olivia - do it?

Growing up I never got confused when someone called an [name]Olivia[/name], and still dont think it’s too similar to my name… Go for it! (and, perhaps, instead of feeling left out with one middle name she’ll feel unique!)

I don’t think they are similar at all. Go for it!

Sure, do it. They are not too similar. I would carry on the double middle for all girls. Maybe if [name]Louise[/name] is negotiable, you could find a single syllable name for one of the middle names, like [name]Olivia[/name] [name]June[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]. I don’t know that I’d pick [name]June[/name], but something short. My husband insisted on two middles for our daughter so we chose [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Mae[/name] [name]Ellen[/name]- both family names, but short.

I think you should absolutely use [name]Olivia[/name]! If everyone else has two middle names I would keep the tradition going for this one as well. [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Louise[/name] actually doesn’t sound like too much too me. I daresay that it sounds regal. I love the idea of [name]Liv[/name] or [name]Livvie[/name] as a nickname as well.

All in all, bravo choice!

Simply perfect.

You know, I like the idea of [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] as sisters. :slight_smile: To me, those two names just have such a great ring together! They aren’t really that similar either…Personally, I’m saying do it! I also like [name]Evelyn[/name] if you don’t want to do [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] as siblings. [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Louise[/name] sounds very pretty. Good luck.

[name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] are fantastic together! I would definitely keep using 2 middle names. Personally, I like the sound of [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Louise[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]. While there is a repetition of the “L” sound, you aren’t going to introduce her to people with all 3 names at once (unless it’s announcing her birth or if people happen to ask about them). But at school, etc. you would just introduce her as [name]Olivia[/name] and I think it is a perfect fit!

All the best and please let us know you you go!

Two of my favourite names! [name]Olivia[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] go beautifully together. [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Alexandria[/name] [name]Louise[/name] sounds great [name]IMO[/name] :slight_smile:

Best Wishes x

Thanks everyone for the support! I only wish I felt more confident about using [name]Olivia[/name] with [name]Amelia[/name]. I keep going back and forth, can’t make up my mind… Fortunately we still have some time. Keeping [name]Olivia[/name] as our current #1 option then, but I’ll keep looking just in case something else comes up. And in the mean time, my husband thinks I’m being silly. :stuck_out_tongue:
