Amelia - yes or no?

Hello, berries! I keep coming back to this name, even though I usually stay away from the popular ones. It’s classic and has the vintage flair that I adore. Do you think I should still use it despite it’s popularity or look for an alternative? What are your general thoughts on this name? (What kind of associations come to mind when you hear it?)

For the middle I’m thinking of using Jade, Rain or Wren, open to other suggestions🌷

Thanks in advance!

I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]! It’s sweet and classic and still feels fresh to me despite its popularity. While I do prefer names to be slightly less common, I wouldn’t let the popularity stop myself from using a name I love.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Jade[/name_u] is a lovely combination!

Despite its rising popularity, I think [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is one of those truly timeless, classic names. I also love the nickname options like [name_f]Amy[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_m]Ames[/name_m], etc. To me, she’s more evergreen than more “trendy” names of the past few years like [name_u]Harper[/name_u] or [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], which I feel will become the new [name_f]Brittany[/name_f] and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] from the 90s.

From your list, I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]!

Also, if you wanted something slightly different, you could consider the [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] spelling - I find this quite romantic and soft! Plus the nicknames of [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] are adorable.

Personally way too popular for me, but maybe if you have a nn you could use for her it would be a little less confusing some nn ideas are

[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Melia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mimi[/name_f]
[name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_u]Ami[/name_u]

Some less common variations would be

[name_f]Emelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amila[/name_f]
[name_f]Melia[/name_f]
Ameline/Amelina
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is my favorite combination. I like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], and if you really love it despite its popularity then i’d go for it! I think it’s a very nice and classic name and i can’t think of any negative connotations or issues with it. :blue_heart::sparkles:

I really like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]! Popularity is not a big concern for me, and I think [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is pretty and somewhat classic. It feels warm and comfortable to me!

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] is lovely!

I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. It is so sweet and pretty. I also like [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and even [name_f]Mila[/name_f] for nn options.

I think you should still use it despite it’s popularity, I like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. It reminds me of la valse d’Amélie and of princess [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be a lovely middle name.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is a solid name -if you like it, go for it :slight_smile:

I don’t really have associations, but it’s not my favorite name in general. I looooove [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] tho! And [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Jade[/name_u] is really pretty!

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is beautiful!

I should add that [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] sound gorgeous to me. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is so lovely, timeless, and warm! I think its popularity is very well-deserved, and I’d definitely encourage you to use it :yellow_heart: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] is so gorgeous and I love the combination of a more familiar first name with a slightly unexpected middle.

I absolutely love Amelia!! I think you should definitely go for it if you keep coming back to it — it’ll be a name you love forever :yellow_heart: Despite it’s popularity now, it has such timeless elegance and versatility!

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is very popular right now, but if it’s your favourite name and you’ve always loved it, I think you should go for it! It’s pretty and sweet. I like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u].

One of my favourite names at the moment in [name_f]Amylia[/name_f] (Ah-my as in why-lee-ah), but I think it would confuse people and a lot of people tell me it doesn’t sound right which I understand. I’m still tempted to use it though lol.

If you are looking for alternatives, there’s also [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], though they are also popular.

If it’s the name for you I wouldn’t be put off by popularity.

It’s not a name that appeals to me, sounds I guess, as well as the reference to [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] in [name_f]Vanity[/name_f] Fair - not a strong positive for me.

Of your middles I like [name_u]Rain[/name_u] or [name_u]Wren[/name_u] best.

I think you should use any name that you love despite popularity. I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
