I like Amelia, but for someone else's kid. I can't get past the "MEALY" sound in the middle, and there's Amelia Bedelia to boot. MEALY. Ugh.

Nevertheless, I do pronounce Amelia and Emilia differently. To me, Amelia is UH-meel-ee-uh, while Emilia is EH-meel-ee-uh or AY-(the long "a" sound)-meel-ee-uh.
