Amelie

Amelie is the French form of Amelia, derived from the Germanic Amal, possibly meaning work or industrious, related to the Gothic word for labor. The name gained international fame through Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 2001 French film Amelie, whose protagonist Amelie Poulain became one of cinema's most beloved and whimsical characters. For pets, Amelie carries the warmth of the film's charming, imaginative protagonist.

Amelie is a name lit with the warm amber glow of a Montmartre cafe, evoking the charming, imaginative spirit of the beloved 2001 French film. For a female companion with a quirky, creative personality who finds delight in small things and has an endearing habit of arranging situations to create happiness for the people around her, Amelie is the perfect name. Whether she actually resembles the film's pixie-haired protagonist or simply shares her inexhaustible capacity for joy in ordinary moments, the name is a wonderful fit.
