Simone Michela? or Simone Amalia?

Simone is a name on DH's side with a lot of sentimental value to him, and we have been strongly considering it as a fn.  How do you think it sounds as a sibset with Cameron?

Also Michela was my grandmother's Italian middle name, also a lot of sentimental value.  It is pronounced mee-KEH-la but we would probably just pronounce it like the American version.  Her American middle name was Michelle but I don't like it with Simone.

Another mn option is Amalia which overall I like more but does not have as much sentimental value as Michela (was the mn of a relative that I was not very close to but I always loved the name).

Thoughts?

Well it's a subtle difference but the American pronunciation I would use is mi-KAY-la, as in Michaela.

I think Simone is  a beautiful name, and it pairs wells with Cameron. 

I prefer the MN Amalia, but both options are great.

Simone Michela is a nice name, especially the family significance.  

Simone and Cameron are a great sib set.

Simone Michela sounds like the better of the two to me.

I'm totally biased toward Amalia, but I actually think Simone Michela sounds better. The A of Amalia can run together to make Simona, which is also a nice name! But between that and the significance of Michela, I'd probably choose Michela.
