Me too! I love Amelia but mostly because it can be used with nn Amy (my favorite girls name) but lately I've been loving the looks and sound of Emilia a lot and almost a bit more than Amelia. I also love the elegant image that actress Emilia Fox gives the name in my mind and I'm a fan of her work.
Emilia Josephine is a lovely combo! I think it flows very nicely and is feminine without being overly frilly.

I like Emilia better than Amelia. (although lately I'm liking Amalia and Amaelia)
Also, I don't know why (I don't have synesthesia or anything) but I can definitely see Emilia as having "cranberry iridescence".
I'm not really a fan of Josephine though.

To me there's no difference other than spelling between Emilia and Amelia. There was a Greek-born guidance counselor at my high school whose first name was Emilia, and she pronounced it exactly like Emilia.
So to me, Emilia is the go-to name for people who don't like that Amelia is so popular, and they make a big point of pronouncing it differently.

I prefer Emilia to Amelia. There is something I don't like about Amelia, but Emilia is pretty.

Emilia Josephine as a combo is nice, but a little boring. I don't know, I think I'm getting burnt out on Josephine.
