[Opinions] Re: Amelie, Melanie and Natalia
in reply to a message by Mareasi
Amelie is beautiful. I liked the film Amélie, so that adds to its appeal even though Amélie and Amelie aren't pronounced the same. I usually pronounce Amelie AH-me-lee, but in the States, AM-muh-lee would probably be a safer bet.
Melanie is a decent name. I like it, but not enough to use it myself. It's on the dated side, but not overly so. It sounds similar to names that are popular these days, such as Emily, so I wouldn't really worry about it being too dated. How about Melania? It has a similar feel to Natalia, but it's less popular.
Natalia is gorgeous. It's becoming more popular these days, but it's not overly popular yet.
I don't care for Nathalie all that much, but it's decent.
