Amelie?
I've always loved the name Amelia, but after going through the French names, I saw a varient: Amelie... the e has a symbol on it (no sure how to get it up) thats changes the pro. to Ah-may-lee... I love it, what do you think?

On the fence.I know of three, it's getting very popular as an Emily or Amelia substitute in the United Kingdom and Australia. People tend to warp it into "Am ah lee" or even "Em ah lee" (?) which annoys me. The French pronunciation is much better. If you don't mind correcting people, go for it.There are prettier French names IMO.

Love it, it's my daughter's middle name. The accent over the e in Amélie is ALT+130 on the number pad (all three numbers together, but one at a time starting with 1 then 3 then 0)

Amélie is an awesome name!!! Very pretty!WOW I never knew how to get that accent there! How do you get the 2 dots over the "o" in Noel?

You can get that by holding alt and then pressing 148 for lowercase... Nöel :)

I love Amelie (Ah-may-lee).
It's a name I would use, except it doesn't go so well with my surname :(

I love the name, but don't pronounce it the same as you do. I say Ah-mel-ee.

I guess when just written Amelie it could be pronounced like that, but I yeah.. I really like sound that Amélie has, and if I used it would I would keep the Frenchness...
