Amelie? Name for Polish last name

We are 2 weeks out and still haven't found our girls name. Please tell me what you think! I can't decide anymore. I have a Jackson Theodore Rozowski already, and am looking for his little sister's name. I want a name that will be interesting, not too difficult to spell or pronounce, not a top 50 name, and something that means something positive. (Theodore is gift from God). I was sure I was going with Marie as a middle name to honor my grandmother, but now since I think I want Amelie, I don't think that will work. Our names, in order are...

Amelie
Evelyn Marie
Josephine Marie
Madeline
Sophie Marie

I would really like a mn for Amelie or Madeline that would go with Rozowski. Or do I want to go with Evelyn? I think it sounds a bit old. I love the nickname of Evie. I also am not sure what a nickname would be for Amelie! Why do they let preggos women make these decisions??? I am crazy enough already!

Thanks!

I love both the names- Amelie and Evelyn. I have loved Amelie since I first heard it about 8 yrs ago (looking at dh's family tree), and wanted to use it on dd. BUT- Like you, I got weary of how unusual it still seemed to be for everyone else- I had to spell it or repeat it to everyone I told the name, and like you I worried about dd having to go through that her whole life. SO- I went with something very different (Lindsey, w/ family names and mn). This time I'm still in love with Amelie, and am considering it again- maybe for mn?

I also LOVE Evelyn- was at top of my list this time but dh axed it.. I love Evie, and think Evelyn Marie is beautiful.

Not discrediting Amelie, its such a gorgeous & different name. Because your ln ends in "i" sound, I like Amelie Maria as well.
Good luck on birth and final choice of name!
