I have had a fascination for the young female pilot all my life. She perished more than ten years before I was born; but her adventures and achievements caught my attention early on.
Now we have a grand-daughter named Amelia. I’m quite certain that her parents were not thinking of the aviatrix. Maybe “Amelia Bedelia” had a bit more influence. In any case, the name finds its roots in the Latin, and speaks of hard work and industry. For me, I just like the sound of the name.
Amelia. Makes me smile.

We love it all – the meaning of Amelia, Amelia Earheart, Amelia Bedelia, Amelia Island – It is a good, strong name, but there’s a sweetness to it for your granddaughter…I think she is already beginning to fulfill the strength of the name!
I look forward to seeing this movie!
