you guys are probably sick of me by now...

So my boyfriend and I have agreed on Amelia for our babe due in June.

I like the name, but I know I'm going to want to nick name her (it's what I do). I'm sure I'll call her whatever *comes* to me, but I'd like to have a couple options to start from.

I don't particularly care for Amy and Mia is out since that's my cat's name.

Anything aside from these two and Lia that come to mind?

Thanks in advance!

Emme
Emmy
Milly
Very lovely name btw!

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

thanks for the suggestions!

I like Milly!

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Mab, that's definitely not one I've heard of. Much appreciated!

[lovetokate.livejournal.com]

Millie?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

yes, I think I like that suggestion!

[adamantplatypus.livejournal.com]

Bedelia, since that what everyone else will call her, anyway! :D

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

hopefully not D:

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

Naw, I don't think that book is nearly so popular anymore. Unfortunately.

[trishy-h.livejournal.com]

Lia
Melly (maybe not seriously haha)

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like Lia, but I'm tying to think outside the box, ya know. Melly is cute, but it rhymes with smelly, so I don't know...heh. Thanks!

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

My cat Mia = Mimi.

I like Mila, though! Too close to Mia? Idk!

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think Elia could work. Thanks!

[poohbaby.livejournal.com]

I knew a girl named amelia that went by Mimi.

[i-like-tuesdays.livejournal.com]

I know an Amelia and we call her Amel (pronounced ah-MEEL, like the name without the last syllable)

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Never thought of that! Thanks!

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

One of my best friends is Amelia and she sometimes goes by Melly and sometimes Amers - pronounced mell-ee and amm-errs.

I don't really see any nicknames for Amelia; I don't like nicknaming with names that are their own stand-alones (like Amy and Mia).

Great choice!

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I think I'll probably nick name her something completely unrelated to her name, to be honest. Thanks for the suggestions!

[031307.livejournal.com]

Millie would probably be what I would use.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think that's my favorite suggestion so far! Thanks!

My neighbor's name is Amelia but everyone calls her Mimi.

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

1.) I LOVE that name!

2.) I would use Milly, Mia or Mimi.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I love Amelia!

I can't think of any other nicknames other than what's but suggested, but I don't like Amy or Mia, either. If I use the name Amelia I plan to use Lia.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

I would definitely use Milly. Lia is also a possibility.

[selador.livejournal.com]

my cousin calls her daughter millie/milly.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I love Amelia, and I like a lot of the suggestions people have given so far, but here's one nobody has said yet!

I knew someone named Amelia when I was in elementary school, and all of her friends called her Meelee.

[tunknut.livejournal.com]

Mae/Maisie or Delia would be kind of a stretch... but I think they'd be cute nicknames.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

What about Mimi?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

That's my cat's nickname (Mia)! Thanks, though!

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

I can't think of any suggestions that have not been given yet, but I just wanted to say that Amelia is a wonderful name! And it's the name of my best friend too (well, actually her name is Anna Amelia).

Have you decided on a middle name?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Thanks! We have not decided on a middle name, yet. He wants two. I can't wrap my head around that idea. I'm just glad she has a first name!

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

I've always thought Molly sounded like a nick name for some other name, though not sure what, but maybe it could work for Amelia? I know you like Milly, so I thought maybe you'd like Molly too. I like both, though I think with Milly one might think it's a nick name for Mildred, which just screams old lady to me.

Other possible suggestions:
Ina "Ee-nuh"
Mina "Mee-nuh"
Enid
Elsa

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I like Molly a lot. I suppose it could work for Amelia as well as Milly/Melly. I agree, Milly does make me think of Mildred which is such an old lady.

Much appreciated!

[jordle.livejournal.com]

I'd use Millie. I love that name. My friend's daughter is Amelia and I always want to call her Millie but I'm not allowed to! (she is strictly Amelia)

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

I knew an Amelia who called herself "Em"

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I love Amelia!

Mel
Millie
Ellie
Ella
Elle

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Oh, I never even thought of Elle/Ellie/Ella. I love that! But I'm thinking it might be a little bit of a stretch. Thanks for the suggestions!!!

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

Nuh uh, it would so work! Amelia. It might not make the -el sound, but it's in the word! :)

[searlait.livejournal.com]

I know an Amelia, nn Millie.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i love the name amelia :) if i were to use it, i'd also use the nickname elle.

[teababy2.livejournal.com]

Meily! Or Mely, but pronounced like Meal plus eee like you are saying the second syllable of Amelia and adding "y".

[tiphanism.livejournal.com]

Em? Milly?

[quite-rosie.livejournal.com]

My baby is named Amelia. No nickname here though.

[onzeminutos.livejournal.com]

I think Milly is really cute :>)

[http://users.livejournal.com/chikoli_/]

Mel or Elly/Elli.
