Really? Amelia seems to be a lot more popular than Emilia in my experience.

I think she meant overdone like pretentious, not overused. Otherwise I'd be confused too- I've met at least 3 Amelias and I've never met a single Emilia.

No, overused. :) Emilia is really really popular on baby/toddler girls here. Especially as a middle name. Amelia on the other hand isn't much used here, so it feels like a breath of fresh air to me. I don't live in English-speaking country, though.
