Welcome to the board, bro!

Congratulations also on the soon-to-be little one and wishing you much happiness and of course also to your lovely wife! Masha-Allah, how beautiful that you are about to have a little girl who'll In-sha-Allah be the coolness of your eyes and the coolness of your wife's eyes as well! Great news, brother.

Barakallahu feek (may Allah bless you).

From Google, I found the following information on the name "Amelia:"
Amelia is a name with Latin origins. Amelia originally comes from the name Amalia, which was derived from the Germanic name Amala. The root element Amal means "work."

Also, there's a fatwa that I'm quoting you so that you may read and understand about this matter in greater detail and make your decision accordingly: Keeping names for children: Which names are preferred? Which are disliked?

Wishing you and your wife goodness and happiness,

:wa:

Thank you brother but the name is listed on few Muslim websites so I'm kinda confused. It's listed in below site I have also seen it on couple of other sites too.

Seems that the name Amelia has two different origins, Latin and Arabic.

The meaning of the name Amelia is Trustworthy, beautiful

Name Amelia In Arabic : عملية

"Am(i)liyyah"

Beautiful name anyways. Congratulations to you and your wife about the new daughter.
 
Hi there. That is a nice name like from Treasure Planet's Captain Amelia. Masha Allah to you and your wife and whole family. Barakallahu Feek.
