I prefer
Amelia.
I once knew somebody with the middle name
Emily to honor her maternal Grandfather,
Emil. It was slightly refreshing to see as a middle name. I’m yet to meet an
Emilia, but I think this would be the slightly better choice to
Emily.
Amelia just looks better and that’s what I’m so used to. Admittedly I used to love the name
Amelia, if you had asked me a few years ago what I would name a daughter,
Amelia would likely be my answer. But now it’s just kinda plain me, and I prefer
Amalia more. I can still appreciate
Amelia with its strong history, meaning, and the class it has, and after all at the end of the day better boring than bad. But at the end of the day the disease just bothers me. I still prefer
Amelia though. Nothing special about
Emilia.
