Baby Name Poll

Amelia vs. Emilia
Hello! My husband and I have agreed on a name but have a dilemma. Amelia and Emilia are pronounced the same, they are both valid names but they have different meanings and roots. Emilia is Italian and Amelia is German. I like Emilia because the spelling makes my preferred nicknames more accessible Mila and Mia. This is also the spelling I am most familiar with as it was my early childhood best friends name. I feel as though most people are more familiar with Amelia and it would lead to less spelling issues in school - the problem is that it is so familiar and much higher on the popularity list than I would like. They are both beautiful, but all around I do prefer the Emilia spelling, I just don’t want to cause issues for my daughter later in life.
