Amélie is a beautiful name but beware that in North America, it may be often confused with the ever-popular EMILY. Especially if you pronounce it AHM-uh-lee.
The French actress Audrey Tautou played the memorable role of Amélie Poulain in Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (The Famous Destiny of Amélie Poulain), also known merely as "Amélie".
"Amelie" is the title of a 2001 French film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. As you may have guessed, the main character's name is Amelie. It is a very quirky, creative, unique, colorful, and interesting film. I absolutely love both the movie and the name!
This name is very similar to mine, Amelia, but it is the French version. I love this name but in England it is often confused with the more-popular Emily. However all these names come from the same "family" and in my, biased, opinion, they are all beautiful!

This name is very dainty, elegant, and pretty. I like the sound of it.
