Do you think of a certain ethnicity when you hear....

Amelia? My DH thinks the name sounds like a certain ethnicity (not ours) and therefor ruled out the name. I totally disagree!  Do you think of a certain ethnicity when you hear it? I just think it's a pretty name. TIA!

    I don't think Amelia is an ethnic name and no specific ethnicity comes to mind when I hear it.

    Thanks ladies, I agree with you. DH thinks the name sounds hispanic. He says it's not true, but I'm guessing he's only known 1 Amelia in his life and she was probably hispanic. Who knows!?!

    No ethnicity comes to my mind when I hear it.

    It sounds very American/European.

    This.

    If I had to guess an ethnicity, I'd guess Caucasian, since it's a German name.

    if anything I think it's more English--as in England;  I work w/lots of Hispanic people and have never met one w/the name Amelia

    For me it's European/British.  I also love the French variant Amelie.

    Amelia is not an ethnic sounding name at all. Pretty all-encompassing.
