Amalie

I just saw this on someone's FB page.  I think its pretty.  I also think its the name of a port in the Virgin Islands, maybe?

Opinions?

St Thomas perhaps?  Ok, now thats going to bug me

I like it! It sounds French. Pretty sure it is French actually. And most places are named after people first, so if there is an island named that, then most likely it was named after the person that found it.

robinsokj

Yep, St Thomas.  Glad I got that covered

My problem with it is that Emily is a very popular name, so when you have a name so close to a popular name people who may not know the port exists or the French origin automatically think - here we go someone likes Emily but tried to be creative.

Not saying that is your intention, just that the names are very close to each other.

I love it, though I think I prefer the Amelie spelling, like the movie

Well, I'm having two boys so its not an option.  I just thought it was pretty.

 I agree. Love the name (Amelie spelling). Love the movie more!

I'm not really a fan of it.

Although I'm a lover of all forms/interpretations of Emily (Emelie, Emilie, Emma, Emmeline)... I have to say that this is one I just can't get on board with.  If you live in France, that's different.  But for some reason I just can't get myself to like it without a hearing French accent saying it.  I know that probably doesn't make any sense, but there it is.

You're thinking of Am?lie.

Amalie is the German variant of the name Amalia.

FYI: Am?lie is the French form of Amelia.

I think it's pretty, but I like Amelie a lot, too.

I love Amelie. Clearly, I love Amalia.

I think it's such a pretty name. I like the sound of it and many NN potentials!

mommajenb

love it and love the movie with the spelling variation.

I prefer Amalia. I've heard Amelie, but never Amalie, to be honest.

LMS05

Not a fan at all.
