Which spelling for this name?

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm certain on Amelia for my baby girl. Just unsure on the spelling and nickname.

Amelia (NN Lia) or Emelia (NN Emi)?

Older (full) siblings are Asher and Anberlin. A theme not intentional.

Older (half) siblings are Zoe and Isaiah.

 

[LoraLoo]

I prefer Amelia to look at but prefer Emi to Lia as a Nn. Sorry that's probably not much help!

 

[TwilightAgain]

Amelia - Lia as a nickname sounds like Leah which is quite cute

 

[Bevziibubble]

I prefer Amelia as a spelling

 

[LoraLoo]

You could have Millie as a Nn for either too

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

I like Amelia too

 

[Ameli]

Amelia! Both are pretty though.

 

[staralfur]

Between those two I would say Amelia but I prefer Emilia.

 

[Alea]

I prefer Emilia but I feel like she would be forever correcting people on the spelling and although your A theme was never intentional, Amelia fits with it.

Amy could be a nickname which is similar to Emi?

 

[love.peace]

My niece is called Amelia and gets shortened to Millie. I do prefer Emelia though because it's different. Also Amelie is cute and not so common as Amelia

 

[JessyG]

Between those two I would say Amelia but I prefer Emilia.

Agree.

 

[Eleanor ace]

I like Emilia best. I would personally avoid another A name as it would seem like it was intentional to have your LO's who are full siblings all have A names and I'd worried that that would make the older children feel a bit shut out; but then I am a bit of an over thinker and that might not occur to anyone else at all

 

[SurpriseBub]

I like Emilia. As others have suggested, Millie is a great nickname, too.

I also agree with Eleanor Ace on the name theme. I doubt it would really matter, but I think I would probably avoid it.

Out of interest- How did you find Anberlin?

 

[jojo-b]

I prefer Amelia with Milly as a nn x

 

[wonderstruck]

Amelia, but I don't see Lia as a nickname for that name.

 

[rebeccalouise]

Amelia, definitely. Great choice!

Don't see Lia as a nickname, my Grandad calls Amelia, Millie for short.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm not a fan of Millie for a nick name. I LOVE Emi for a nickname to Emelia, but with the two A's already going, I almost feel pushed to settle for Amelia. At the same time, if/when I go for number 6, I'll feel pressured to, again, have an A name, and I don't like any other A biblical boy names (my pattern says the next is a boy).

Problem is, if I use Amelia, I can't use Emi, and I'm not a fan of Amy for a nickname either.

As for Anberlin, it's my favourite band.

 

[JessyG]

If you like the nn Emi would you not spell it Emilia?

 

[BrandiCanucks]

It's an option, but I do like Emelia better

 

[Moma Ali]

Amelia and Emilia isnt a spelling thing they are different names

I prefer Emilia
