Hi there...I love both Meredith and Ameilia (but I prefer this spelling - Amelia). Rose as the middle name sounds great with either name. I would say that Amelia is more popular right now, and it also sounds similar to Emily, which is currently the most popular girl name. So if that bothers you and you want something more off the beaten path, I would go with Meredith.

If your name is Andrea and your son's middle name is Andrew, then I would agree with you that Andrew for a first name for your next son would be overusing it. My name is Andrea too, and personally I would not name my son Andrew because I think it is too close to my name. Also, I am not a big fan of Andy - not sure how you feel about this nn. Another name that is close, but different enough to avoid confusion would be Drew - do you like that?

More ideas:
Steven
Matthew
Daniel
Patrick
Nicholas
Samuel
Jonathan
Alexander
Adam
Ethan
Nolan
William
James
Tyler

Do you like any of those? Let me know and I will try to come up with some more suggestions.

Why not the traditional spelling Amelia? The two "i"s seem a bit much next to the "l". It makes it almost hard to read to be honest. LOVE the name though!

How about William? Will is a cute nickname and it goes well with your other kid's names.

I think it depends on the sound of the last name. I think it would work with some two syllable last names. Does it rhyme though? If your first instinct is it doesn't sound right then I bet it would always bother you and you should steer away. But William Jack is awfully darn cute! Hehe.

Amelia is fine -- as is Meredith -- I like the nickname Merry -- very sweet.


I wouldn't use Andrew again.
