This name has been a forever favorite of mine, and seems to become the new 'Olivia' in parts of Europe and Latin America. What do you think of Emilia?

I prefer Emilia to Amelia. I like Emilia and Amélie, but Amelia will always be tied to Amelia Bedelia... ick.

This is my stepbrother's stepdaughter's name. I call her my Leap Niece lol!! Though most of the time she goes by Emmy. I think it suits her and is pretty. Emilia Clarke is a gun connection.

I love it, and much prefer it over Amelia.

It's gorgeous and timeless.

It doesn't look or sound English to me. Amelia, yes, that's been around for centuries, and so has Emily, which I prefer to most other names including Amelia and Emilia. It seems reasonable that non-English speakers would opt for Emilia, to the extent that it becomes the new Olivia!

I've always disliked the name Amelia for some odd reason. I genuinely don't know why, but I've never liked it.

For whatever reason, Emilia strikes my fancy far more. I don't love it, but it's nice.

I like it well enough. I prefer it to Olivia for sure. It has many cute nickname options. It’s more interesting and sophisticated than Emily. It kinda reminds me of a cross between Sophia and Emily.
