Girl Names

[name]How[/name] does everyone pronounce [name]Amelia[/name]?

uh-mee-lee-uh or uh-meal-yuh? Or something different?

I’m considering adding this to my list. Does it fit with my other names? ([name]Claire[/name], [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Sophie[/name] and [name]Anneliese[/name]?)

Also, what middles do you like with it? I was thinking [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] after my grandma. Other suggestions welcome!

Any nickname possibilities for [name]Amelia[/name]?

Also, how do you pronounce [name]Emilia[/name]? Same or much different? Thanks for help with these questions!!

‘A-mee-lee-a’ is how I say [name]Amelia[/name] (short a’s like ‘cat’ for both) nicknames… [name]Milly[/name], Mealy, Meals, [name]Lia[/name], [name]Amy[/name] or [name]Mimi[/name].

I pronounce [name]Emilia[/name] ‘em-eel-ee-a’.

Yes, I think both go with your other names :slight_smile:

I pronounce [name]Amelia[/name] somewhere between ah-mee-lee-ah and ah-meel-yuh. The ee-ah is very quick and soft when I say it, but it’s there. For nicknames – [name]Amy[/name], [name]Mia[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Mel[/name], [name]Melly[/name], [name]Milly[/name] (maybe) [name]Ally[/name], [name]Alia[/name], [name]Mila[/name]. I pronounce [name]Emilia[/name] em-ee-lee-ah ([name]Em[/name] like in [name]Emily[/name] and the A in [name]Amelia[/name] like the a in fall).

I prefer [name]Amelia[/name] a lot, but I think either goes fine with the other names on your list.

For middles, my [name]Amelia[/name]'s middles are [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Zephyrine[/name] [name]Saga[/name] but I doubt that’s your style :slight_smile:

exactly what @renrose said. Though I think it might depend ALOT on your accent and how particular you are about prn the letters differently. I could see how to some people they would end up sounding pretty much the same.
I prefer non-a ending mn with [name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Emilia[/name].

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I pronounce [name]Emilia[/name] exactly as I would [name]Amelia[/name] and I prefer the [name]Emilia[/name] spelling.

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] / [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is lovely!
