Help[Opinions] Re: Aemilia
in reply to a message by )(
It's Emily with extra steps.
Emily is.... absolutely boring and dull but not horrible.
Emilia is Emily-extra but faintly nice and less dull.
Amelia is more popular Emilia (but also not because they're different names... but they're also... hear me out here...sooooo much the same, I feel the etymology is almost spliting hairs because Amelia just feels derivative, controversial I know, because Amelia is one of the least original-feeling names I've ever encountered and I'll die on that hill...like I'd never accept that Amelia was an original name not derived/adapted from something if I saw it out of context and knew nothing about names)
Aemilia is superfluous or fantasy-novel-esque or pretentious-Latin-nerd and just imho a bit unnecessary. If I saw it irl as a name I would probably pretty dislike it for the aforemention pretentiousness / different-but-also-not-different vibes.
