[Opinions] Re: Maverick & Amelie?
in reply to a message by meena
Eh, I've never cared for Maverick personally. I had an older cousin who used to make us watch Top Gun every time he babysat us, the name will always have that association for me. Side note; I have seen this name used once before...on a girl. I remember thinking it was absolutely awful.
I love the name Amelie. I used to be "eh" about it until I saw the movie. It's just so adorable I couldn't help fall in love with it (that and Amandine, which is only mentioned in the beginning, but still lovely) Out of curiosity, what are you using as the French pronunciation? I've always thought it was ah-MAH-lee, which is basically how it is in the movie too...just with a French accent.

The movie is the exact reason why I started to love it too! And I'd be pronouncing it the same as you, except the "mah" being a bit more or a "may"
