French name alongside English names

Hi everyone! I'm 30 weeks pregnant with our little girl and we're still busy looking for the perfect name. We think Amélie is beautiful. However, our oldest daughter and son have English names. It's not like the names have to match, but do you think this works or does it feel a bit off?!

    What are the other names?

    Our daughter is Lizzy and our son is Lenn.
    Maybe Amelie without the accent would be a good option, so it becomes more like Amulie instead of Ameelie. And it would sound better with the other names. Was curious to hear your thoughts

    Emily/ Emilie?

    I think Amélie is super pretty and fits really well with Lizzy and Lenn! I'd definitely go for it!!

    Thanks! I just don't find Emily so nice for some reason, that's why!

    I really like Amélie with Lizzy and Lenn. I don't think Lenn is really a very English name either.

    Okay, nice to hear! So would you write and pronounce it with the accent then? Like Amélie? Or just Amelie? And pronounce it as a-melie (aamulie)?

    My little sister is named Amely, pronounced like Emelie. Maybe it's an option too.

    I'd go with Amelie, so pronounced Amulie

    @ Amélie haha yeah, big chance! Did you often have or still have people mispronounce your name? I'm curious!

    Yes, they say more Ameulie instead of Ameele, do you understand what I mean?

    I don't necessarily think it fits with Lenn and Lizzy, but that's more because I find it's a completely different type of name. But... that's not necessarily a big deal anyway. I don't find it bothersome at all.
