My OH and I have had Amelia Elizabeth (nicknames: Mia or Lia not Amy and Mel) and Wyatt James picked out since the first trimester (mainly because it's all we could agree that we both loved).

It turns out that number 2 is a girl so since 20 weeks we've told everyone her name will be Amelia or if by some miracle she's a boy he'll be Wyatt.

Lately I've been panicking that she won't look like an Amelia and that my name is too popular. Recently a study came out putting Amelia number 9 on the list of popular girls names for 2009-10 in the UK and I'm freaking out that she'll be one of three in her class like I was in the 90's.

Should I be freaking out or is it just pregnancy hormones? Should we change her name or look into other options or keep it regardless of everyone else because we love it?

Also, what do you think of the names?
 
I love the name Amelia & love the nn's Mia or Lia! I say go for it! If there are other's in her class, she can always go by one of her nicknames!

Very pretty!

(Not personally fond of Wyatt, sorry)
 
I agree! If it's the name you love, go for it! I love Mia as a nickname! :thumbup:
 
I would go for it. Its popular because its nice! We think we're decided on Emily Elisabeth. Emily has been really popular for ages now... but I'm passed caring. We'll call her Emmy for short. All of the popular names are really nice names at the moment. All traditional... not 'faddy' names. Amelia Elizabeth is lovely :flower:
 
I live in Canada and havent heard it at all. I think its a great name :)
