Just a thought for anyone thinking of calling their daughter Amelia..

[Vicyi]

Hey everyone,
My Daughter is called Amelia and we went to In Laws for Xmas eve and she received a present from a family friend who spelt her name Amaliya. Just thought it was such a strange but gorgeous way of spelling it! Thought i'd write a post in case it can help anyone out. If we hadnt already had an Amelia i'd be spelling it this way! lol x

that is a pretty spelling!

That is a very pretty spelling!! ^ I like Rosalie too... I like names with 'ie's and 'y's... We've decided on Evelyn (thankfully DH didn't take much persuading.. )

xx

Wow, I've never seen that variation before. That is pretty =)

I'm not keen on it. The spelling looks really odd. I like Amelia spelled properly.

I would pronounce that completely differently (like Ama-lee-yah) if I saw that written somewhere.
Personally, I wouldn't mess with the traditional spelling of a well known name. It may look interesting, or 'unique', but means your child will have a life of correcting people when they mis-spell, or mis-pronounce their name.

Trust me - I've lived it. The novelty wears off

Nobody spells Amelie correctly We usually get amilee LOL or amily

I will be calling my baby Amelia-Grace (if its a girl of course ) not too sure of the other spelling tho xx

I might be calling my little girl Amelia Grace too
or Amelia Rose.

Great minds think alike hehe.

I have never seen it spelt that way.
But it is really pretty.

My neice is called Amelia. I like it spelt that way best x

I was considering Amalia, shortened to Mali (Molly). I think the spelling/pronunciation might get awkward though. I knew a girl with that name once, but no idea if she had problems with her name pronuciation. I think she generally went by Malia anyhow.

I have a good friend called Amelia and I would think Amelia and Amalia/Amaliya were different names altogether.

 

[Pyrrhic]

I wouldn't pronounce Amaliya as Amelia tbh.

It looks like Ah-ma-lie-ya, whereas Amelia is Ah-mee-lia

 

[ThatGirl]

ours will be
amelia-rose faith or amelia winter rose
will stick with original spelling

Our DD is Amelia Jessicka-Raine so no worries about people spelling it wrong. Just thought id put the post up incase anyone else wanted it. x
