I think Amelia is beautiful and Amelia LeeAnne flows so nicely, but I really prefer it spelt Leanne, I just think it looks nicer. It could still be deriving from your SIL and MIL's names, just spelt so it looks nicer.

Apparently I'm in the minority, so it might just be me, but I found it quite difficult to say Amelia LeeAnne aloud. The -lia sound at the end of Amelia ran into LeeAnne and made it quite a tongue twister. Again, must just be me, but thought I'd mention it.

Oh, and I voted for Amelia Caroline, btw. Thought they were both classic, feminine names that flowed well together.

No matter what mn you choose, though, I think Amelia is a beautiful choice. It's on our short list now, although I'm still not sure if it fits with our ln (McCormick). Might be too "M-ey?" Anyway, great choice! HTH! :)

I love Caroline, but I think three syllables each makes the name seem long. Lindh was definitely my favorite. I love using family surnames as middle names and Lindh sounds so nice with Amelia. They are all nice mn choices though and I adore Amelia, so I think whatever you choose will be great. :)

Thanks!! I really appreciate the feedback.

I had originally been leaning toward Maurine just because of my emotional ties to my grandmother who passed away many years ago. Now I am giving Caroline another shot, which makes DH happy, since DS's middle name is from my side of the family. Luckily, we still have three months to decide. My grandmother's birthday was March 14, so if this baby is born on that day.... I almost HAVE to name her mn Maurine.

thanks again to all that voted or replied.

Hey there.
I am personally attached to the name Amelia because that is what we named our three year old. We get so many complements on the name and am so happy that we decided on it. My daughter is Amelia Noelle and I think that it flows really well as well as complements the name.
