Help[Opinions] Horatio & Amalia
I've been thinking of these two names recently, what are your opinions?
Horatio - with references such as Horatio Hornblower, Horatio from 'Hamlet' and Horatio Caine from the TV show 'CSI: Miami'. I'm really loving the sound of this name, so strong and masculine and regal like a storybook hero.
Amalia - I really like Amelia for a girl but it is a bit popular. Amalia just seems so pretty like a name for a princess and it's definitely less popular and could still have a nickname like Amy which I love.
WDYTO these two and what combos immediately come to mind?
Thanks in advance,
Laurie :)

I knew an Amalia nicknamed Molly. I like it quite a lot. Amy is okay.
I appreciate the boldness of Horatio, but it's not something I'd choose myself. Ray is an obvious nickname, but Hank would be pretty awesome.
Combos:
Amalia Frances
Amalia Beatrice
Amalia Florence
Amalia Lucienne
Horatio Aaron
Horatio Esteban
Horatio Pierce
Horatio Frederick

Molly is a very cute nn, I like it quite a bit!
I'm not fond of Hank as a nn but Ray is interesting, I'd be more likely to use Harry as a nn or just H.
Thanks for your combo suggestions I love most of the names you suggested but really love Amalia Frances, Amalia Beatrice, Horatio Pierce, and Horatio Frederick.
Thanks!

Horatio -- Love it. I tend to think "Horatio Nelson" first, but whatever the source it's a great name. I've also heard female decendants of Admiral Nelson have been named Horatia, which I find darling in the extreme. :-)
Amalia -- Love it. Amalia has always been overshadowed by Amelia. It's nice to see this charming name from the past get some attention. Amy is a sweet nn. I've dabbled with the idea of Molly as a nn for Amalia, but I'm still on the fence about that.
