Amalia

Absolutely stunning!

My favorite variant of Amelia. The long "ah-" sound makes it seem strong and unwavering, and it has good history and is not that common. Overall a great name.

It sounds like Amelia. I love both names.

Hi, I'm Amalia. I love my name and I go by Amalia and my middle name is Gabriella and I go by Gabi so I'm happy I get to see behind my name. But many people call me Amelia when they see my name so that's kinda dumb, but my name isn't common but it is beautiful!

I think it looks and sounds a lot better than Amelia, which to me is half overused, and half not overused. Looks a bit more mature than Amelia as well. I really love this, and I quite like Amelia, it's just too common and a teensy bit childish. Love this name!

Hate it. Go with Emilia or Amelia instead.

Well, I really like this name, it looks elegant, sounds also good, a lot better than overused Amelia. Amalia looks more mature also. Just a good name!

I SO agree with DeeDeeRee. Amelia is a little overused, and this is a great replacement! Don’t get me wrong, Amelia is also an awesome name, just wish it wasn’t so common!

Even though it means "work" it still sounds like a name a spoiled girl would have to me.

I love this name! I believe this to be the full name of my great-grandmother, who always went by Mollie.

Amalia is a really cute name. I hope the popularity doesn’t increase too much.

Nice alternative to Amelia! Beautiful. It might get mispronounced and misspelled, but hey, it doesn’t take much to correct someone. It’s your name, be proud of it!

A very pretty and interesting alternative to the popular Amelia.

This is such an elegant name. I can’t get over the fact they made a variant called Amelia which exploded. I also can’t get over the fact how PRETTY this is. Amalia is mature and it is dignified. I am considering to use this name.

Amalia is way better than the repetitive Amelia.

Eh, Amelia is better.

One of my best friends is named this, but spelt Ahmalia. I honestly think it is a very pretty, strange name.

I love this name! It was also the name of my friend who moved to Norway, and I find the name so pretty.

This is a very pretty name. I knew an Amalia once, who didn't use a nickname, and the name didn't sound bizarre or pretentious in the real world at all. I also like that, in using Amalia rather than the similar Amelia, you avoid having "meal" stuck in the middle of the name.

The name sounds incredibly unflattering and harsh. Perhaps because it easily makes me think of the word "Maul" Maul. Mauled. Like someone mauled by a crazed animal.

Amelia is just so much softer and nicer. There's a reason why this name (Amelia) is more common.

I change my mind about this name. I now think of Amalia to be an acceptable and decent enough name. I used to not care for it at all but now that I gave it some thought, I find that I can tolerate this name and remove it from my list of "my disliked names within the top 1000."
And I believe that Amalia could be a nice name to use to honor someone named "Molly" if pronounced as Ah-MAH-lee-uh. Amalia can be said as Ah-mah-LEE-uh as well. Both pronunciations are nice.

I think it's a stuck-up name! Bah!

I love this name! Though I much prefer the variant Amarlia.

Unfortunately, Amalia has once again fallen out of the top 1000 after a brief stint. It's still relatively common, being given to 244 baby girls in the year 2012.

Beautiful. This makes a great alternative to the nice but overused and trendy Amelia. I personally think its prettier :)

You can get the nickname Mali/Molly from this!

I like it alright but for some reason it reminds me of goats.

One of my very favorite names. I like Lia as a nickname, and Amalia Rose sounds beautiful.

My aunt's name is Amalia and I think it is a beautiful name.

This is my name, and I love it. The only problem is that people always think my name is Amelia (a name that I hate). I say it Uh-Molly-uh, and I go by Molly or Malia. It's a nice name because it's beautiful and pretty, but it can be shortened to so many normal names (Molly, Amy, Lia, Mia, etc.)

I really like this name. I prefer it to Amelia, since Amalia's not as common.

Upon first impression, I thought this to be a variant of Amelia and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not. Nevertheless, this is an underused name that could replace the more common Amelia and Emily.

Also, the character from Final Fantasy XII was more often referenced simply as Ashe.

I love it, not quite as much as I love Amelia but still, it's a very pretty name.

Personally, I like this name better than Amelia.
