The two British princesses named Amelia (daughters of George II and George III, respectively) were both called Emily by their families.

In Poland we shorten it to Amelka

Not obscure, but Mia. There’s also Mimi.

Mimi
Ammy (like Abby)
Lily
Lee

Ame (AH-meh in my language) would be intuitive to me! Other ideas:

---

Amy (English pronunciation)
Ami (AH-mee)
Mitzi
Alia
Lila
May / Mae / Mei
Lola
Alina
Lily / Lilly / Lili / Lilli
Molly (Amelia "Molly" makes more sense than Mary "Molly" IMO...)
Mamie
Maisie
Melia
Lina (Amelia -> Amelina -> Lina)
Lia (like "Leah" in English)
Mimi / Mimy
Meli
Mimmy / Mimmi /
Yaya
Mia
Mim
Mel
Alli / Allie
Masha
Aya
Maya

Only one that comes to mind that you didn't mention is Mia. But really, it semes to me if you want a nn that's not one of the obvious ones, you should just use that nn by itself or with another full name that is less obscure.

Mia
Alia
Ame (ah-ME)
Mimi
Elia
Melia

Mela
Mia
Mimi

Melya. Meel-ya
Am
Ames
Am Mel
Mel
Le-a
Ella

In Indonesia, it seems that every Amelias I've encountered are called Amel, pronounced AH-mehl (or in IPA /ˈa.mɛl/).

Another nickname options that I can get off my mind are Ames, Azza, Melly, and Ellie.

(Edit: I don't think that this post and clevelandkentevans' post about Amelia on the Name Facts board are just a coincidence...)
