Amelia ranks at #800 with 146 entries, registered female. The name has been one of the dominant girls' names on the human SSA chart for over a decade, and on a pet registry it now functions as the deliberately-graceful full-female-name pick — owners reaching for Amelia are choosing the elegant Latin-origin register specifically.
The modern-elegant cohort
Amelia clusters with Sophia, Charlotte, Olivia, and Eleanor in the modern-elegant full-female-name pet pocket. The cohort tracks owners who wanted the same names that are dominant on the human girls' chart for their dogs — the dog is treated as a member of the human-name peer group rather than as a mascot. The naming logic is anti-cute and pro-formal.
The Amelia Earhart overlay
For a slice of registry Amelias, the aviator Amelia Earhart is the conscious cultural anchor — the 1937 disappearance that became one of the most enduring American historical mysteries. The cohort skews toward households with strong adventure or aviation interests, and the dogs in this slice often have brave-confident registers that match the historical figure.
Sound and breed lean
Four syllables (uh-MEEL-ya or ah-MAY-lee-uh), middle-stressed, with bright vowels throughout and a soft warm ending. The household nicknames Mia, Mimi, and Lia all work as shorter daily call names. The name lands disproportionately on medium-size friendly breeds — Cavaliers, Goldens, Doodles, and warm mixed breeds. The human Amelia page shows massive recent SSA dominance; pet Amelia tracks the human chart closely.
