I love the name Amelie! I like it with or without the accent. Even if the proper French spelling is with an accent, I wouldn’t use an accent if I were to name the child Amelie. As an American, I would fear coming off as pretentious with the accent, plus the issue with documents not readily having the accent available. The more I look at Amélie, the more I agree with someone’s comment that it looks more “complete” than Amelie.

I also like Emily and Amelia. Emily is a little more dated but I think it will make a comeback, and Amelia is quite popular. Amelie is a nice alternative to that.
