Amelia
-
Being similar to Emilia in the tragedy of 'Othello' by Shakespear whilst not comforming to the tragic Emily trend. It also holds undertones of the title of a book Anamalia or something alike, bringing back memories of colourful animal pictures. This name retains old world charm, without looking dagy. With a sound that does not ware old, but sounds as sweet everytime.
- Everyone loves Emily and Emma but I could never give my daughter a name she would share with two girls in her class. Amelia is beautiful, classic, and unusual and has the added bonus of being the name of a great female role model (as in Earhart). But I hope no one else gets too attached to it, or any of my other names either (haha)!
- feminine and old-fashioned, still a little different; you can use Aimee for a nickname
- Amelia or Amabalis--It reminds me of Amy only it is a bit different. It also reminds me of the title of Mary--Mother Most Amiable.
- Amelia Alida: Amelia after Amelia Earhart and Alida because if flows nicely after Amelia. My daughter is nicknamed "Amy", something I've always hoped would fade with time, my husband and I frequently call her Amelia because it is such a beautiful name.
- Amelia Diane: Diane is my aunt's middle name. She pasted away this last Easter, so I would like to honor her.
- Amelia Grace: (nn Mi or Melia) I love the Amelia because it's beautiful, but not popular at all. It's unique, beautiful, and simple. I got the idea from the book/movie "The Bone Collector" . The character was strong, and so I took a liking to it. Grace I chose because it flowed well. (I know you don't want to hear that, but I think Amelia Grace is just the most elegant, beautiful name ever. LOL)
- Amelia Lane: this is such a lovely name and I wonder why it is so under-appreciated! I hope that it remains forgotten, at least until I can claim it first! It reminds me of little girls with pretty dresses and photos of French cafes.
