My husband and I loooove [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (nickname “[name_f]Lia[/name_f]”)- our only concern is whether it will continue to get more popular. It’s currently #23 on the SSA list but I know that’s not necessarily a perfect data point since name popularity can vary so much based on region. We live in DC and hear [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] every once in a while but constantly.
We’re worried that it will just keep climbing and we’ll end up with a [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] situation. What do people think? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know a ton of little [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]'s?
It is also my favorite name and I plan to use it my Amelias nickname will be [name_f]Mia[/name_f].
I have your same concerns though. It does seem like as the years go on it gets more popular. I am hoping tho that it will either stay where it is or go down in popularity.
I don’t think I know of any Amelias around here, but I live in the midwest and so may not be much help. If it makes you feel better, only 7,191 girls were given the name [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] in 2012 (in the US) despite its high ranking.
I am in the [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_f]East[/name_f] and there are about 3 Amelias in our local elementary school (of about 200 students). It is #1 in [name_f]England[/name_f] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m], I think it is going to continue to rise in the U.S…
I only know 1 baby named [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] who is only 2 weeks old or so. I do think it’s going to keep rising though and I can definitely see it breaking top 10.
In Australia [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is in the top 10, though we have names in our top 50 that aren’t in the US top 100 or 500, so it’s hard to say. but [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is on the rise I’d say. Strong, feminine, familiar, nickname potential, it has everything.
Yes, [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] definitely has top ten potential. I would love to see [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] bump [name_f]Emily[/name_f] out of the top ten. [name_f]Do[/name_f] I think it’ll actually happen? There’s a very high probability. I just took a look at the national stats, and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] does seem to be heading straight for the top. The top ten is tricky though. I know tons of little Emmas but only one or two Sophias and not a single [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].
I know of three at the moment two under the age of 4 and one under the age of 10. I think it’s getting more popular. They use the nicknames [name_f]Milly[/name_f] and [name_f]Mia[/name_f].
You could always just go with [name_f]Lia[/name_f] it’s attractive and stands out.
