I also pronounce them with a subtle difference in my accent. uh-MEEL-ee-uh and eh-MEEL-ee-uh respectively. I think Amelia has a slightly nicer meaning. I have to admit I don’t love the “mealy” sound in the middle, but both are nice enough names. Both are VERY popular, as well as lots of similar names like Emma, Emily, Amelie, etc. but if that doesn’t bother you I don’t think you could go wrong either way.
