In some countries, it's more popular as a unisex name.
There is a book series called "Amelia Bedelia" and I love it! People with this name I have found curious, smart, and sweet. This name is really popular, and it should stay that way!
― Rednosed Audrey 12/14/2021
I love this classic name. It is elegant and sophisticated. I like the nickname Mimi, Meem, Lia. Absolutely beautiful name, and can be paired with so many other names too.
― Calypso1234 12/9/2021
Oh, what a feminine name, elegant and romantic, do not you think? I already know that it is not modern at all, but I think that adds more charm, at least for me since I like vintage names.
I met an Amelia when she went to my class and, being honest, we did not get along, but later I learned to recognize the beauty of her name. Also, she was the typical beautiful, well-dressed, confident girl with good grades. She had a super long curly hair and she even practiced Karate. The truth is that I do not remember why I disliked her.
In short, I have very good feeling with that name and I think it's beautiful. In addition, it is this kind of name that does not need nicknames, since it is a short and too beautiful name to be shortened at Amy, Lia or Millie. Puaj! Seriously, it is not necessary. And it is much better than certain "unique" and "modern" names that are now fashionable!

My given name is Amelia, after Amelia Earhart because my mom's side of the family had a lot of pilots. I do not like it for myself, it's very princess-y and I am more masculine. I don't really think it's either pretty or not, pretty neutral. I also did not like that it was becoming very popular due to Doctor Who's Amelia Pond. There was also a kid in elementary school who would call me Amelia Bedelia. I am in the process of having everyone begin to call me by my middle name, which is a boy's name. I think Amelia can also be tomboy-ish and wild, like Amelia Earhart was, however she was also incredibly wealthy and into building up a public image. But, for any young girls out there with this name, you're pretty cool, and I pass the torch. :)

I'm an Amelia (it's my name) and I've never once thought about changing it but I do still prefer to be called by my nickname Mia, but it's still a great name.
Amelia can also mean a lack of limbs, so some may associate the name with the defect. The name itself is still a cool name - I know an Amelia and she's cool.
― TheDuckWall 11/27/2021
Alright when they're children but as they get older it doesn't suit an adult.
If you like the name have Amelia as a middle name.
This name always makes me think of the word 'chameleon'.
― 75643812 11/15/2021
Amelia is a very pretty name, no wonder it's so popular, but it's very common and overused. Amelia is a lovely choice.
― rainbowpops 11/12/2021
Hmm not sure if I like this name. It's way too common and not sure of the sound.
I really like the name Amelia, no wonder it's so popular.
I think Amelia is a pretty cute name. It sounds soft, gentle and classy, and it rolls off the tongue ever so smoothly. It also ages beautifully, in my opinion. I think Millie and Lia are really cute nicknames, too.

I'm an Amelia, born 31 years ago, when this name was very much out of fashion. I was named after a great grandmother, whom I'm honored to carry the name on for.
The 90's were not a nice time to bear the name, so I am very shocked to know that all the brats who made fun of my name are now naming their own children after me. :D LMAO! Proof that Amelias are unforgettable and mysterious. My family gave me the nickname of Ammie, pronounced AEHH-miii, and I quite love it.
To all the new Amelias, keep up the tradition of being unapologetically unique. There are some fine and fierce women who bore the name before you!

Just stop removing several usage without reason.
― Clara711 5/31/2021
I love Lena as a nickname! It reminds me of leopards, and so does the normal name itself! I really like the name, too. If anyone hates on it because of the birth defect, it's because they're jealous of it, so don't listen to them!
Amelia is a nice name, no wonder it's so popular. I've never heard of the birth defect that is often mentioned in these comments. When I hear this name my mind goes right to Amelia Bedelia- I loved those books as a kid. This also happens to be my grand niece's name who will be a year old this year.
― harathor 5/4/2021
First of all Amelia isn't Amalia, just to be clear and Amelia is kinda, no offense, overused compared to the less used name Amalia. How to pronounce is Amal-leah like that...I mean no offense to the Amelia's on here :)
― Amalia R 4/28/2021
Amelia is a pretty name actually! It's just that it's REALLY common now, so I would spell it Amalia.
― Crystal_Fox 4/21/2021
Attractive spelling. The pronunciations are beautiful. This name is overall gorgeous.

Amelia Watson is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive. She is under hololive's first generation of English V-tubers, holoMyth. She also goes by the nickname Ame.
More about her: https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/Watson_Amelia
It's really pretty. I understand why this name is popular. Besides, the famous namesake inspiring everyone; Amelia Earhart, the famous pilot who almost flew around the entire world. It would be cool to have the same name as her, don't you think? I've only met one Amelia in my entire life, and she is 16. I've never met a baby Amelia, and we don't have anyone with this name in my family. It's on my list of future names, if I have children. I like the names Amelia and Charlotte for twin girls. Nicknamed Amy and Lottie. But, I may or may not actually use it.
― wheelbarrow4 4/16/2021
Unattractive, don't see the appeal at all. There are so many prettier names!
I can see why it's popular, but I don't really like the meaning, not to mention the amount of popularity it has. Amalia is better.
― Runaa 4/8/2021
I really like it, don't get me wrong. It's just a teensy weensy bit too common and childish.
― Crystal_Wolf 4/4/2021
I really like this name. My favorite middle name for it is Amelia Genevieve.

― -blue 3/3/2021
It's ok, although overused and nothing special.
I love it! It's feminine, strong, and saint-like. I would strongly consider this name. It garners respect and is pleasing to hear. To the dislikes: You sound so dumb! I mean really, so annoying.
― Vhs 2/20/2021
I think Amelia is a pretty name. My cat was named Amelia :D! My Minecraft cat. She was a nice cat.
― Mieouw 2/9/2021
It's okay, definitely overused.
― adabird 2/8/2021
Lia is a nice nickname.
I tend to believe Amelia is a beautiful name. I write this with great experience on the name.
You see my daughter is named Amelia. I remember when she was born it was an emergency delivery as mom was in grave danger with blood pressure 220 over 180 the baby had to come out so they could save mom. Nicu team was ready for the C-section birth. Amelia was born 2lbs 11oz born a true fighter and having many ups and downs in nicu for 42 days. She is a bright and caring ten year old today who suffers from anxiety and found this page and a lot of the negative comments have crushed her spirits. To all the Amelia's out in the world, you have a beautiful name you are loved.
― Ssweig1970 1/25/2021
I think this name is really cute and I don't think there should be any nicknames for it. Just Amelia :)
― Janessa2542 1/11/2021
I do actually agree with Janessa, I do still think Amelia is boring, but what am I to say about it? I kind of have a boring name as well.
Amelia is kind of cute, but the Mel bit still looks wrong to me.
― Amy.B 1/30/2021
I hate people using Amy as a nickname for this name. Amelia is just boring, the -lia ending isn't very nice, I don't like it at all.
Gorgeous name!
― Shadow and Revenge 1/5/2021
It's okay but there are so many prettier names!
Name is alright, but somehow boring. Feels like some letter missing. Sounds dry and just, boring.
― DeeDeeRee 12/30/2020
It's a nice enough name. I like it. Even if it isn't quite one of my favourites.
The fact that there is a birth defect "Amelia" is an unfortunate coincidence but to be honest I didn't realise that until I looked the name up here. And I imagine that in the context of the birth defect it's probably pronounced slightly differently, with stress on the first A.
I doubt it's that much of an issue for most people so don't be put off if you want to use it for your daughter.
― ash1990 12/29/2020
Popular names are popular for a reason. This name is feminine, lyrical and beautiful. At present people seem to think a popular name is a bad thing... But let's remember that this name is centuries old and has roots in literature, the royal family and many generations of several countries. It's a shame that a classic and traditional name used throughout history is now seen less beautifully as it is currently popular. Compared to names that parents just make up to be different, which hold no weight in history, this name has much more to offer. I really hope people will soon drop this fear of the "top 10" names and stop adding stigmas to names that are obviously well loved to become popular. My name is very rare and if it were to ever become popular, I hope people wouldn't suddenly change their view on it!?
Actually I have an update: I don't like it as much as before and I hate it when they use Amy as a nickname, Amy is a proper name so it shouldn't really be used as a nickname, especially when the spelling is Amelia. And also the start of it is "ah-me" and Amy is "ay-me" so that is another reason why Amy shouldn't be a nickname.
It's still a pretty name in my opinion, but I wouldn't use it. My name is as nice as it is and shouldn't be a nickname to Amethyst, Amanda or Amelia.
I just don't like the sound. Uh-mee-lee-uh. Nothing that pleasant.
― noisynora 11/19/2020
It's nice and cute, but I think the meaning "born without limbs" ruin it. But you guys shouldn't go round hating it just because it means that. I like it better than my own name and my parents like it too so if I wanted to, I could probably change my name to this because "Amy" sounds similar to "Amelia".
― Inxpect 11/10/2020
People keep saying how horrible this name is and that it shouldn't even have a nickname because it's so ugly but that's why some of us go by nicknames because everyone hates it so it's like what do you want us to do.
If you're looking for a less common version of Amelia, why not try Amalia? It's nice, elegant, and pretty.
― ciara23 10/26/2020
I hate it when people use Amy as a nickname for Amelia. Amelia is a crappy name compared to Amy and shouldn't have a nickname, the closest nickname to it is "ugly" and "weird".
My name is Amelia and I don't think it means anything. When I think of Amelia I think of a strong brunette that loves sports. Saying Amelia means something bad is like me saying you are stupid because your name is Lilah. Or saying you are a blonde, that means you are an idiot. I personally have met some very successful blondes and I think Amelia is a fine name. The way it sounds to you does not matter. I like my name. And no one can change that. So to all those rude people out there who say Amelia is a bad name, I suggest you look at yourself.
My name is Amelia, and for most of my life, I've liked my name a lot and went by just Amelia. However, in these last few months of quarantine I have been reconsidering. I like the meaning (hard worker or something right?) because you're going to get more out of life if you have a good work ethic and some common sense. But there are so many people with the name, and I hate the thing about dumb blonds. I have dark hair and am half Japanese, and it's kinda insulting to hear that people think that the only women with the name Amelia are white and/or are mentally retarded. I think I might like the nicknames Lee, Elle, or Em because they are less feminine, and it feels like someone might have less of a conceived notion about you.
Please don't name a poor child something that means born "without limbs".
Ugly, and overused.
I really dislike this name for some reason. Overly done!
I liked this name until a friend of mine in the medical field told me Amelia means "without limbs".. totally turned me off to the name.

― Bubbles293739 9/19/2020
I hate this name. It is long and obnoxious and very annoying. It sounds tacky and childish and only a name for a 2 year old. If you have this name, you're probably a dumb blonde girl. I hate the dumb blonde stereotype. And if you're a parent of an ' Amelia... Then why pick a name that's a birth defect? If you want to have a more strong, elegant and powerful name, pick something like Lilith, Jade, or Harriet. Hailey is also a good name. I think the name sounds like a smelly, feral cat or skunk. And don't tell me what I know, the Amelias I've seen mostly are wearing glasses, and are like so short.

I love the name Amelia, it's so pretty. I have a cousin who named their daughter "Amelya" which isn't a good name. She says it's pronounced the same as Amelia, but it's pronounced "Uh-Me-lI-uh" and you can't convince me otherwise. Please use Amelia instead of Amelya.

My name is Amelia and I actually do like it. When I was younger I wasn't much of a fan but now that I'm an adult it's really grown on me because it feels so pretty and feminine. I'm 22 now and I've never found popularity being issue but I hear it's been a lot more common in the last 10 years or so. I spend a lot of the time on the phone at work and 8/10 times people think my name is Olivia, so it can't be that common. I've never heard of the birth defect thing until today, and neither had my mum (she still doesn't believe me). I've probably heard someone mention Amelia Earhart when meeting them once or twice when I was very young, but never Amelia Bedelia (I don't even know who this is). I grew up in Australia for context. I get called Millie, Mils, and Mia by my friends and family and I like them all!
It is very pretty and classy, but also common. I know 3 Amelias (one used the nickname Mia though). I prefer Amalia.
― someone- 4/20/2020
Another name that is popular with good reason. Amelia is very nice and classy.
Amelia is youthful and beauteous. I mean, you can't go wrong with Amelia.
Personally, I prefer Amalia. It has a gorgeous aspect and is a little more mature. It is less common and you can't go wrong with Amalia either.
I still love Amelia. I recommend it, as some people are very content with it.

Amelia is my middle name- Lark Amelia and I love it so much my parents coudln't find anything that went with Lark until they found Amelia and while, yes I am a dumb blonde [see most down voted comment] that is solely the reason this fits me so well and my first name doesn't go well with any last names except my own so Amelia leaves me another name to use if my future significant other has a last name that doesn't go well with mine, so over all I love it.

I love this name. I named my daughter Amelia and call her Millie as a nickname. She was named after my great-grandmother.
― kelli85 8/28/2019
I personally don't really like this name. For one, it's too popular and I'm not really a fan of all those trendy like names like "Everleigh" or "Ava". I also really don't like the sound of the name "Uh-meel-ia" it just sounds weird. It's just like Olivia, a medium length four syllable name. If you really love this name then go with it, it's just not my personal favorite.
Kayisforkeen, if you think this name is pretty, you're not alone. I love it a lot and where I live, it's not very popular so it's not overused and it's not underused, it's perfect as perfect can be.
― Whippppppppp 8/21/2019

I quite dislike this name. It sounds tacky and childish, and not very fitting for anyone but a young child. Emilia and Amy are nice, however.
― Torrelyn 6/3/2019
I personally hate this name. It sounds like a name that a baby would have but as the girl gets older, it just sounds dumb and immature. Every Amelia I have ever met is very fitting to the dumb blonde stereotype. However if you want to give your child a long and obnoxious name, I would pick this one!

― xxCreative_Mindxx 4/7/2019
I prefer Amalia, it's less common and I like the spelling.
I think Amelia is really cute personally. It's hard not to think of Amelia Earhart, so it also makes me think of an adventurous spirit, which is great. Not a fan of "Amy" as a nickname tho. Has a lot of syllables for such a short name, lol.
― IronClocks 2/20/2019
I was named Amelia in honour of my Polish grandmother (in Poland, this names is pronounced a-MEL-ya). While here in the UK the most common pronunciation is ə-MEE-lee-ə, I pronounce it ə-MEL-ee-ə.
Amelia is such a cute and pretty name. The birth defect never comes to mind when I hear it.
I love this name! It's one of my favorite girl names! So beautiful and elegant! And the nicknames Amy and Mia are cute! I think of a princess and/or a pink character who is born in February with this name! I think I might use it for my future daughter as a first or middle name!
Amelia sounds like it's not that common but I was surprised at the charts! It's very pretty and feminine nonetheless.
― futuremother99 1/6/2019
Why choose a name that is a birth defect? There are so many names out there.
― Mimi1987 12/2/2018
"Mellie" is a possible nickname.
I dislike this name, although Amalia and Emilia aren't so bad.
My name is Amelia rose and I love my middle name but my first name isn't my favorite. I get complements on my name all the time but I still dislike it to an extent. I would rather be named Amalia or Alia. I usually tell people to call me Rose or Lia because Amelia is just too long in my opinion (I also really like nick names but my mother doesn't and that's another reason why she named me Amelia, she thought it had no acceptable nicknames). It has happened twice now when I move to a new school and people forget my name. I have had one kid call me Amy and one kid call me Amber and I honestly would rather be called Amber or Amy, so that"s what I let them call me. When people ask me where I got my name or why my mother named me this I'm embarrassed to tell them because my mother didn't research my name or decide it before hand. She heard it in a public restroom when another mom called her kid over and the kid's name happened to be Amelia. My mom heard and was like "I like that name" but was still going to name me Emily like she had originally planned but after she had me she was like" No, let's just name her Amelia."
Famous Bearer: Amelia Earhart (Born: July 24, 1897 Died: July 2, 1937) was an American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the United States Distinguished Flying Cross for this accomplishment. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. In 1935, Earhart became a visiting faculty member at Purdue University as an advisor to aeronautical engineering and a career counselor to women students. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Amelia is a lovely Victorian name, with a heroic connection to Amelia Earhart. It's extremely popular, not only in England and the US, but also Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland, which some might dislike, but I think it a wonderful name despite its popularity.
In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Amelia who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 559th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
My name is Amelia, and I LOVE my name. I'm not born in a country with English as a first language so I got to choose my own name when I was in elementary school. Back in the late 90s and early 2000's, this name wasn't so popular. I went to high school in Canada and there were none or maybe 1 Amelia in each school. I've gotten so many compliments about my name. I'm actually kind of sad that this name got "popular" now because I don't want it to be so common... but oh well those kids with this name are more than 20 years younger than me so who cares :) - I'm 27 now.
― amelialoves 10/8/2018
A nickname for Amelia is Mia.
I've always overlooked this name, but it's actually really pretty. "Amelia" on its own sounds great, but you can also go by Amy, Mia, Mimi, Millie, or Lia, so you still have PLENTY of options. It's pretty popular now, but I think for a good reason.
I'm named Amelia, and as much as it might be a "cute" name, I'd never give my kid this name. There are so many two year olds with this name now, it's crazy. The name itself might seem elegant, but as you get older, it is rather terrible. It's not easy to grow up being called Amelia Bedilia. It's also not easy to be asked every time you introduce yourself if you were named after Amelia Earheart. Some cute nick names are Mellie, and Amel, but that's about all you can be called.
― The Crazy Namer 6/18/2018
Hello, I'm an Amelia and have always hated my name. (This is just my experience but I think it may be helpful to listen to someone with the name). It may sound elegant, fancy, or unique but now it is very popular and all I can feel is sad for all the new kids stuck with the name Amelia. I've been called Mimi for most of my life and it's no better, but I haven't seen any other nicknames that are an improvement. I just think Amelia has felt awkward and chunky as a name. And being called Amelia Earhart or Amelia Bedilia was no picnic either. I do plan on changing my name in the future.

This name is very common nowadays. Although, it's not too common yet where you can't give your child the name anymore. I can see why, it's very beautiful.
― DundiculutNicholas 1/27/2017
I prefer Amalia; just changing the one letter makes the name infinitely more pretty, original, and graceful than the boring Amelia.
― RoseTintsMyWorld 5/10/2016
I don't get why people like this name so much. This is my name and I wish I was never named like that. I almost fainted when I saw the ideas of Amelia being nicknamed Mia, Millie, or whatever else. I almost had my first nightmare after finding out that Amelia is a birth defect. This is terrible. Judge me all you want, people, but I really don't like this name. Emily or Amy, for instance, is a way nicer variety.
I got bullied at school because of this name. Amelia Bedelia - would you want to be called something like that? I'm sure not.
It sounds really old and weird. And I want to learn to fly a plane, but the thought of Amelia Earhard holds me.
I am a tomboy, and this name doesn't fit me at all. It's really girly - and it bugs me a lot. Saying this name had always felt weird. Just sharing my personal experiences.
I wish my parents never encountered that name and never named me that. I want to change it into something cool.
One last thing. When I hear the name "Amelia" I imagine an old, black-and-white picture of a young woman in one of those hhuge Victorian dresses, which makes me shiver.
Exactly. My friend is trying to change her name to Amelia but I hate the name I just don't want her to know.

My name is Amelia and when I was in grade school I went by Amelia. I use to think it was an old lady name but now that I have gotten older I actually kind of like the name. I go by Amie now only my mom calls me Amelia or when I go some where that they call you by your name and that is about it. My name isn't a family name I was named after one of my fathers ex-girlfriends.

I love this name. Amelia. Pretty, intelligent, classical. Amelia. The nicknames are beautiful... Emma, Millie... I was going to name my second daughter Amelia, if I ever had one. I did not. I love this name.

I really can't get past the birth defect. Of all the names out there, why pick a birth defect?
Okay, you know what, I think I can get past the birth defect thing. I still think this name looks and sounds pretty. :)
Has nobody mentioned the sweet-natured Amelia Sedley in Thackerey's "Vanity Fair" yet?
Pretty enough name, but Emilia is less common and avoids the birth defect reference.
In Star Wars, Amelia was used as a pseudonym for Allana Solo, following her father Darth Caedus's death, in order to protect her from assassins. Amelia Solo was thought to be the adopted daughter of her grandparents Han and Leia Solo.
Also, in Harry Potter, the witch Amelia Bones was head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement until she was killed by the warlord Tom Riddle.
― Caedus 4/7/2015
Uh-meal-yah=Amelia. It's pretty but I'm hearing many other pronunciations and it means work. That's not a lovely meaning. Also if you like Mia, just name her Mia. I don't know where Mia comes from out of this name. Lia, Amy, Mel, Elle, Ellie, Lee.

We are from Belgium and named our daughter Amelia after Amelia Earhart, the first female to fly across the Atlantic. We were looking for a classy and elegant, timeless name yet not overly used, which can be pronounced in many languages and has a nice meaning and some nice role models. We only found out about the birth defect after we picked the name, I doubted a bit but hardly anyone knows it, so we were ok with that. The French variant Amélie is quite popular but Amelia is rather rare.

Not bad, but it reminds me of oatmeal, which I don't care for. Also, there was a movie called "Something About Amelia" about a girl who was experiencing incest at home.
Amelia Warner, an English actress.
Oh, gosh! D: After discovering there's a BIRTH DEFECT called "Amelia" it's really hard for me to think of this name the same way I had before! X__x.
Amelia Lily Oliver is an English pop singer who finished third in the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011.
A wonderful, beautiful name. A possible nickname could be 'Melia', though I personally think nicknames are unnecessary for this name. :)
Amelia "Amy" Pond is/was a major character on Doctor Who, and it's probably because of her that the name is now so popular in the UK. Just like how Jacob and Isabella became top names in the US because of Twilight.

My name is Amelia! I do not have a nickname. Well, my sisters call me Mimi, but only because they could not say it right when they were little. Now everyone calls me Amelia. I think it fits me PERFECT. People pronounce all different ways, I don't care, it sounds good any way. Although the people that say A-mil-ea spell it that way. Sometimes my name is either way, it comes out differently, depending on who the person is. My mom named me that because she thought it was pretty and because when she coached soccer, there was a little girl named Amelia who was the sweetest, and smartest, person she ever met she said. She also said I am sweet and super smart kinda like her. And my middle name is Marie. Pronounced Ma-Ree. My mom is Denise Marie. Isn't Amelia Marie Pretty? If I was a boy I would have been named Robert Micheal. I would have been called Micheal because my dad's name is Robert. I like the name Micheal. And Robert. But I love my own name and think it is very pretty. If I had to choose a nickname for it, I would choose Mia. I can be like either one, they both fit me. And I am not kidding when I say I am smart, I am in gifted not to brag. So I am called Amelia most of the time, almost all the time. But I usaully have to say my name over when people ask me since I talk fast and clear, they think It was Emily or something, but I don't care they say Amelia is pretty. I like it.

It's okay, although its very trendy right now. I'd say if you like Amelia but are worried its too common, try Amalia instead :)
― Oohvintage 5/27/2013
This name is so pretty, I love it :) but my cousin is Emilia (which I prefer slightly) so id never use it. However, although this name was used a long time ago, I wouldn't call it old fashioned because its more popular now than it has ever been. Probably because its being used so much by the parents who are trying to be all "vintage" by using names like Grace, Amelia, and Lillian. But those names are gaining extreme popularity now, so i'd say maybe use pretty, old fashioned names that aren't overused, like Marie or florence :)
Maria Amelia (1831-1853) was the daughter of King Pedro IV of Portugal and his second wife Amelie.

― Chrila96 10/3/2010
Although I like 'a-MEE-lee-a' better, if I ever named my daughter Amelia, I would pronounce it 'a-meh-LEE-a' simply because the first pronunciation is way too common now. However, a girl at my school named Amelia, pronounced the second way, always has to correct people, so it may not be the most convenient.
I prefer AMÉLIE.
This is my name and my family and I pronounce it as 'ah MILL ya'. My nickname is Mae (may) because when I was learning how to talk I couldn't pronounce Amelia very well and said Mae Mae instead.

The first time I heard this name on a real person I liked it. It gives a warm and friendly feeling yet not too overly familiar. I grew to LOVE the name over time. We named our new little daughter this. She is just as sweet and gentle and happy as her name sounds. We like Millie for a nickname though I love the name Amelia so much I will probably always call her her given name. I have gotten a lot of compliments on her name as well. And once in awhile I can tell it's not an instant hit with a person:) Oh well to have a name that is beautiful but still somewhat unique not everyone should fall head over heals for it.
Amelia is a beautiful name, I love it, it is as sweet as a flower.
― Gods.daughter 5/13/2009
My name is Amelia and I don't really like it when people call me Amelia Bedelia. It's SUPER annoying! Also, I have people call me Amy because of that. So overall I don't like the name Amelia, I wish it was legal to change names.

I'm an Amelia, called Millie. Millie has seen me through my childhood and I know Amelia can see me through adulthood. I've known many Amelias, mostly within five years of me (born 1990), but just about all have had a different nickname. In Australia it seems it was one of the leading names of the classic resurgence of the 90s, along with Charlotte.
This is a Polish variant, too.
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, American fiction writer, wrote her first short novel "In the Forests of the Night" when she was thirteen. Predominantly write about vampires and the supernatural.
This is the name on my birth certificate, but I've been called Amy since practically the moment I was born. I don't really like the name that much for me, but I think it's pretty in general. I hate that there are nicknames like "Milly" derived from it, too, I'm so glad my parents nicknamed me Amy.
― horsehealeramy 12/20/2008
I think this is a very nice name. A few years ago, I jokingly told someone that my full name was Amelia and that Amy was my nickname. They believed me and now many people call me Amelia even though it's not my name. They don't believe that my real name is just Amy.
I really like names that're unique without being too odd. Amelia is just a lovely name all around. It is quite feminine without overdoing the girlyness. It has a subtle beauty with a hint of intrigue as well.
― mom2zeke 11/1/2008
While it's not as pretty to me as the variant Emilia, I still like this name. It sounds girly in a good way.

― Molina 6/8/2008
This is a horrible name. For three reasons:
1. Birth Defect
2. Amelia Bedila
3. It sounds like an obese child: "A meal-ya!"
My, what a hideous name! It would be even more ridiculous if somebody named Emily (even for their middle name) called their child Amelia. It is so horrible, I think, because of the word meal being in it.

I always remember the Amelia Jane books by Enid Blyton when I see this name, and when I was kid and I read those books I used to despise it, but now it's really grown on me a lot and I love it. It's classy and elegant; a name that would age well and yet still sound pretty enough for a little girl. An all round perfect name!

Who cares if it's a birth defect? No one really thinks about that when someone says their name is Amelia or something. Amelia is a gentle sounding name, and definitely feminime. It's unfortunate that the name is so popular nowadays. I know five Amelias under 11.

This is my name and I love it. It's NOT common, it's NOT bland, and it's original enough to be special but heard enough to not be freakish. Amelias also the name of that vampire chick on Underworld. Even though I hate that movie vampires are cool.
What kind of a name is Amelia, seriouly I think it's just so blah and outdated it sounds like somthing from the 1800s. Please just let this one die.
― blu 7/30/2006
I love this name--it's mine. Seems that it's always been classic, but never overly trendy, and I hope it stays that way. Lone_dreamer's comment about the missing limbs makes it even cooler, somehow. And if anybody was thinking of naming their daughter after Amelia Bedelia--please don't! At least when people ask me if that's where I got my name, I can roll my eyes and say "No way." I would hate admitting to something like that, or having to lie about it.

I have recently been wanting to get fit for a new set of Irons. Unfortunately I am having a hard time finding a great fitter in Western North Carolina. Is there any plans to expand Titleist Thursday into this region? I had a fitting scheduled in Charlotte for today and it got cancelled due to weather. There is nothing left available within two and half hours of me. If I am going to invest this much money in a set of irons I want to be fit as close to perfect as possible. Anybody have any suggestions??
I don't know how far you are from I-26/Ashville, but Furman U. in Greenville is reasonably accessible from there. It's worth time/trip if you want the best experience short of Oceanside/Manchester Lane. My game has been evolving fairly rapidly and irons last fall and woods this spring have really benefited. The local Titleist rep may be able to let you know if there are any local clubs with one-time fitting experiences.
Furman is actually only about an hour from the house. I actually got in touch with the titleist home office about rescheduling because the website either was not working or no more appointments at Furman. Lucky for me they were able to work me in. I don't know if this is standard practice but it is awesome customer service. I go this Thursday and could not be more excited. I wish I had time to get the fitter to help me adjust all of my titleist woods and hybrids as well. By the way Furman is a great course, tough but no gimmicks. They actually played the BMW pro am on the web.com there this year.
Matt, while it is great that Titleist offers the free Thursday fitting have you thought about going to another fitter and paying for it? I know around me I have multiple places that offer fittings if I want to schedule and pay for it. Only one location has the Thursday events and those fill fast.
While free is nice, it's not always convenient.


With all the water play that happens in the summertime, it's not uncommon for kids and adults to wind up getting water inside their ears from swimming or splashing around. This can lead to swimmer's ear, an infection in the outer ear canal typically caused by moisture trapped in the ear after swimming. It doesn't even take too much water to get a case of swimmer's ear: it could happen from the bathtub, or rarely, even from water getting into your ear during a heavy rain! If you or your child gets swimmer's ear, what can you expect and how do you get rid of it?
What happens if you have swimmer's ear?
Getting water in your ear may make it difficult to hear and your ear may also feel blocked. Most times, the water will clear out on its own without having to do anything. But if the water does not dissipate on its own and you don't treat it, you could develop swimmer's ear, or an infection called otitis externa, which can cause swelling, irritation, and discomfort. Severe cases may lead to hearing loss or an infection spreading to the surrounding skin or other parts of the body, but this rarely happens.
What do doctors do to get rid of swimmer's ear?
After your doctor's office examines and diagnoses your swimmer's ear, they will likely prescribe antibiotic ear drops along with antifungal ear drops if the infection is determined to be fungus-related. Other common remedies include vinegar ear drops to help restore the bacterial balance in the ear and corticosteroids to help reduce swelling. If you are in pain, your doctor may also recommend pain medications to ease your discomfort. While you're still healing, you may be told to avoid flying, swimming, or doing anything that may lead to more water entering in your ear.

"Beloved. You have been preparing for this time all of your life. You have made it through the fiery trials, climbed over mountains, and fought the good fight of faith, despite the great opposition coming against you.
"I AM so proud of you, My Child. Your faith in Me has made My Heart glad. You are My Delight.
"For your faith has been tested and found to be Rock Solid. You have learned to trust your Abba Father no matter what it looked like.
"Come out into the Deep, Beloved. Take My Hand and do not be afraid. The storms cannot touch you when your eyes are upon Me.
"For My Eyes are always upon you and My Spirit dwells within you. My Eyes, the Seven Spirits of God have been sent out into all the earth, to search for you and I found you, oh My Faithful One.
"I see your devotion and I AM totally devoted to you, Precious One. It is the time of GREAT FAITH and GREATER WORKS.

I read a book by that title years ago. It was written by Chuck Colson. At the time that I read it, I had a difficult time trying to wrap my pride-filled soul around his thesis. At 58 and experiencing some of the worst of this life, and some of the blessed moments of this life, I offer my best version of the question, How Now Shall We Live, as a Follower of Jesus in 2018? It's short, but then I truly don't believe that the Divine has made it that hard.
How Now Shall We Live, as a Follower of Jesus in 2018?
Let us be found guilty of being gracious people, that lay our pitchforks down and replace them with an olive branch.
Let us be found guilty of forgiving what seems to be unforgivable, knowing that if we are to be forgiven, we are to forgive.
Let us be guilty of helping the wrong way occasionally in the constant effort to help and help even more.
Let us be found guilty of worship that is too loud, too honest, too excited and too passionate for the self-righteous to enjoy it!
Let us be too giving and too generous to recognize that our hands were created to live openly.
Let us love the unlovable, pray for the wicked and never think too much of ourselves to realize that we are both.
Let us serve the least of these, and never, ever believe in our hearts that we are above serving. Greatness is found in the action and attitude of serving the least of these.
How now shall we live? With far less religion, and far more Jesus. This world couldn't care less about the pomp and circumstance, found in religious dogma or tradition. This world wants to know if Jesus can really change our hearts, attitudes, and actions to the degree that we have been changed.

What are the differences between the aforementioned interpreting services (consecutive and simultaneous)?
In simultaneous interpreting, an interpreter renders spoken language into the target language at the same time as the person speaks the spoken language. It is in effect, "real-time" interpreting. In onsecutive interpreting, the interpreter renders the spoken language into the target language after the speaker has finished talking. It is in effect, "segmented" or "divided" interpreting. Simultaneous translating is considered to be the harder of the two and usually involves two interpreters, possibly in a sound booth, and special equipment.
What are the differences between interpreting and translation?
Interpreting involves renders spoken language into the target language, either in real-time (simultaneous translating), or after the speaker has finished (consecutive interpreting).
Do you provide website translation?
Yes, we provide website localisation and translation.
Do you provide telephonic interpreting?
Yes, we provide telephonic interpreting.
Is there such thing as Certification for translators?
In Ireland, there is no such thing as certification for translators. This is something that we would like to see implemented, but so far, no progress has been made.
Do you provide a notarisation service?
Yes, we can provide a notarisation service by a third party notarisation service.
Do you provide formatting for documents? Can you explain why I might need this?
Some documents require the preservation of formatting in the source document to the target language/document. This can be due to graphics, figures or layout (e.g. dual columns). For most documents and layouts, we can preserve the formatting.
Is there any guarantee associated with your service?
We ensure that either the translation is 100% correct, or we will amend the document so that it is correct.
Do you provide a proofing service?
Yes, we provide such a service to ensure a document from a 3rd party has been translated correctly.


If you are tired of going through the tax filing process, getting someone to assist you would not be such a bad idea as they make the process fast. Character matters and while you might be overwhelmed on the right individual for the job, there are some factors that never change. Hiring a tax advisor to help in tax preparation is important for someone who does not have enough time to carry out the process may be due to work-related issues, so getting the best person would be the right deal for most individuals.
Get to know the kind the tax background that an individual possess since you need to be sure they have the experience necessary to carry out the tasks. When one sees the certificates; it helps in gaining confidence in knowing that all will; be well but do not forget to ask how long these individuals have been helping others file their taxes. Ask about their charges and what basis they use to charge since there are those with a fixed amount while others charge on an hourly basis.
Having someone who can file the report online is better since there is an easier path one can follow to see that their taxes have been filed accordingly. Availability is the key and one must work with an individual who shows commit and is ready to help you no matter the situation; however, in case their schedule is tight, they should link you with another agent. By checking how they spend their day and interacting with clients, you can be sure if that's someone right to assist filing your taxes or not.
Do a deeper search to see what others have to say about the individuals and the services they offer since no one wants to make in mistake and each person wants to select the right person for the job. Once they are done, these individuals will ask you to sign your form but be sure not sign blank forms and always review the documents to see that everything is in check. You must trust your tax preparer or else there is nothing much they can do for you.
Never work with someone whose credentials are questionable since they might end up being a waste of your time and money. Search for credible sources to send you to an individual who would be of great help and works fast without missing any details since this is a crucial moment. Having some background information on how these tax filing applications work would help an individual if the regular tax preparation is too busy and you want the work done quickly.

Final Fantasy IX Review
By: Timothy Taylor
The original release of Final Fantasy IX in 2000 marked a return to form for the Final Fantasy series. After the first two 3D entries ventured into modern-esque dystopian worlds with new technologies, Final Fantasy IX went back to the series renowned steampunk / fantasy setting to the delight of most fans. The series had experienced a boom in popularity after Final Fantasy VII, yet many were dissatisfied with the experimentation that followed with Final Fantasy VIII.
Thus, developer Squaresoft decided to put its faith into some of its most reliable and experienced story writers, and the results were spectacular. Old school Final Fantasy fans were in heaven, and while the newcomers were perhaps expecting something more along the lines of Midgar, most of those fans learned to appreciate Final Fantasy IX for the brilliant story, graphical enhancements, and sheer size of the game.
Eighteen long years have passed and a numbered Final Fantasy entry has finally made it back to a Nintendo console. Final Fantasy IX is the first in a number of releases coming to the Switch this year, but does it withstand the test of time? Does Kuja still look like a girl? Read on to find out!
Final Fantasy IX is widely celebrated as the most beautiful game that ever released on the original PlayStation, and this Switch port definitely cleans up some graphical shortcomings of an 18 year old 3D title. The character sprites – most noticeably – were very clean, with edges and faces sharply detailed to look more like they are PS2 quality. On the other hand, environments are still mostly pre-rendered and offer little in the way of interaction. I must admit that I was slightly disappointed at how the environments didn't seem to get the graphical upgrade that the characters and battle animations did.
The game still features some of the most beautifully imagined locations that the series has ever given us. Cleyra happens to be right up there with Zeal from Chrono Trigger as my favorite villages in terms of beauty and imagination. The famous Final Fantasy FMVs have also made their way into this port, and while they are completely unchanged they are still beautiful.
The FMVs certainly offer somewhat of a reward as they are only placed throughout major moments of the game, mostly upon arriving at a new key location or right after defeating a major boss. Even as I play the game again over 17 years after its initial launch I STILL find myself wishing the wonderfully unique characters were given voiced dialogue during the FMVs. One would have to think it would be interesting (and most likely hilarious) to hear voices behind the likes of Zidane, Freya, and especially Quina and Steiner.
While I'm satisfied that one of the best RPGs ever did get some visual touch ups, I couldn't help but want more. Not necessarily to the quality that the Final Fantasy VII remake is getting, but just a little something extra would've been nice. On the bright side, there is virtually no noticeable difference upon switching from the TV to handheld mode.
Gameplay and Performance
At the time of its original release I was convinced that Final Fantasy IX had perfected the traditional turn based battle system, and my conviction remains the same to this day. It's simple – yet deep – and preparation is very much key before charging into an important boss fight.
In a bit of a unique twist for the series – equippable items in your inventory can unlock different spells and abilities. Summons work similarly to previous entries, as well, and can be learned through both experience and equipping items. Summons are accompanied by long, dramatic animations that are still a sight to behold.The weapon synthesis system makes a return also, and I still loved it as much as I did years ago. Finding items in order to create a legendary weapon still becomes an addictive game within the game and can truly be the difference in making the endgame a cakewalk versus being borderline impossible.
One addition that I found to be interesting was the small mod key included on the display. It includes options that allow you to move at double speed, deal 9,999 HP damage with every strike and even turn off random encounters. The hardcore gamer within me felt guilty, but I have to admit that it was satisfying to turn on the 9,999 damage mode and one shot tough enemies on the plateau above Gizamaluke's Grotto to gain about 20 levels in 5 minutes (Side note: If you wish to do this trick "legally" there is a blue magic ability that Quina can learn that allows s/he to deal 9,999 damage when s/he has 1HP left). Speed runners and casual gamers will likely get a kick out of these additions.
In the years since Final Fantasy IX was released we have seen some massive in-game worlds brought to life. On the Switch alone we have had the likes of Skyrim and the massive land of Hyrule in Zelda: Breath Of the Wild. The world of Gaia was gigantic to gamers in 2000, so we were ok with a few extra long loading times. However, there is no excuse as to why this game should still have the same amount of loading times as games like the aforementioned Skyrim and BotW.
Loading screens are painfully long, particularly when transitioning from the overworld into battle. I've timed a few of these to be as long as 15 seconds. This really seems like an issue that could've been cleaned up before release, but it's a minor gripe at best. Other staff members here at SwitchRPG have even told me that they have experienced hard crashes during transitional screens. I didn't have that problem personally, but there were a few times which I feared that was the case due to the long times.
This is where Final Fantasy IX separates itself from the pack for me. This is a grand tale that manages to intricately progress the development of its characters separately and beautifully. I became interested and attached to each character along with their back stories, development, and in game goals. Too many RPGS fail to provide closure these days, whether it be unanswered questions about the main arc or about certain character's loose ends, often chalked up to "player interpretation".
Quite frankly, this concept is lazy and uninspiring to me, and Final Fantasy IX is the game to thank for that. With the help of the Active Time Sequences, Every character receives closure as long as you progress far enough. Then, the main story wraps a beautiful, happy bow around itself right at the very end. It seems like every Final Fantasy since this one has chosen to stick with somber endgames, and therefore failed to stack up to the end of this one (in my opinion).
That's not to say that a great game can't have a sad or somber ending and be great – Final Fantasy X is a prime example. I also loved its ending but it just doesn't provide that aforementioned feeling of closure like Final Fantasy IX. The main story of this game may not be the best in the series, but when each character has such intriguing story progression to go along with the main arc…you get a beautiful masterpiece.
It's great to have Final Fantasy back with Nintendo, isn't it? Especially on the Switch. Some of these games simply transcend time and need to be made available for the newer generations, and Final Fantasy IX is one that I hope to see them experience. Turn-based combat has been making a comeback in recent years, and it's my opinion that this was the first game to perfect it. Combine that with a grand story arc and beautifully interwoven character progression and I think you have the best Final Fantasy in the series with this one. And yes…Kuja still looks like a girl.

"The famous Final Fantasy FMVs have also made their way into this port, and while they are completely unchanged they are still beautiful." The FMVs are higher resolution in this version, as one can see from the last image in this review. It certainly makes it all the more disappointing that they didn't also have higher resolution versions of the static backgrounds created and saved all those years ago. I haven't used the more "cheaty" of the new options, but the combination of the high speed mode and auto-battle does let you grind in 5 minutes what might've taken 15… Read more »
These are good points, but I kind of hang on both sides of the fence on this one. As someone who played through the Switch port, I do agree that the loading times could often be atrocious – among other things – but then I look at my playtime and realize the value I've gotten out of the game, regardless of issues. Yes, it is a $20 game from almost two decades ago, but I still got almost 30 hours out of the experience, and I did very little side content. $0.67 per hour is not bad in retrospect. On… Read more »

I'm playing this again now (I'm about 75% of the way through) for the first time in 18 years and it reminded my why I loved it so much back on the PS1. The story, the characters, the locations, the music, the cinematics…wow! I've played every single player numbered FF game and loved them all (maybe not 13…) but this one is my all time favourite and although a full on remaster would have been better, I definitely can't complain about anything that this port had to offer. I'm now looking forward to revisiting the others for Switch (especially X… Read more »

Q: Use property to show that if $f_n \rightarrow f$ in measure on finite measure set $E$ then $f_n^2 \rightarrow f^2$ in measure on $E$. Consider the following problem:

Let $E$ have finite measure, $\{f_n\} \rightarrow f$ in measure on $E$ and $g$ be a measurable function on $E$ that is finite almost everywhere. Use the fact that $\{f_n \cdot g\} \rightarrow f_n \cdot g$ to prove that $\{f_n^2 \} \rightarrow f^2$ in measure on $E$. Infer from this that if $\{g_n\} \rightarrow g$ in measure on $E$ then $\{f_n \cdot g_n \} \rightarrow f \cdot g$ in measure on $E$.

I'm struggling understand how I can apply the fact that $\{f_n \cdot g\} \rightarrow f_n \cdot g$ in measure to prove that $\{f_n^2 \} \rightarrow f^2$ in measure. I've been able to come up with a proof of the fact that if $\{g_n\} \rightarrow g$ in measure then $\{f_n \cdot g_n \} \rightarrow f \cdot g$ in measure, and this clearly implies the claim that $\{f_n^2 \} \rightarrow f^2$ in measure. Unfortunately my proof doesn't rely on the fact that $\{f_n \cdot g\} \rightarrow f_n \cdot g$ so it doesn't answer the problem since it explicitly asks us to prove it a certain way.
So far my best attempt to utilize the fact is as follows. Let $\eta > 0$ then by triangle inequality and monotonicity of measure
\begin{align*}
    \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\mu\left\{ \left|f_n^2 - f^2\right| > \eta \right\} &\leq \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\mu \left\{\left|f_n - f\right|\cdot \left|f_n\right| + \left|f_n - f\right| \cdot \left|f\right| > \eta \right\} \\
    &\leq \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\mu\left\{\left|f_n - f\right|\cdot \left|f_n\right| > \eta/2 \right\} + \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\mu\left\{\left|f_n - f\right| \cdot \left|f\right| > \eta/2 \right\}
\end{align*}
By the fact that $\{f_n \cdot f\} \rightarrow f \cdot f$ in measure
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\mu\left\{\left|f_n - f\right| \cdot \left|f\right| > \eta/2 \right\} = \mu\left\{\left|f_n \cdot f - f\cdot f\right| > \eta/2 \right\} = 0.
\end{equation*}
I don't see how to deal with the other limit without first proving the most general statement $\{f_n \cdot g_n \} \rightarrow f \cdot g$ in measure.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

A: For fixed $M>0$ we clearly have
$$\begin{align*} \mu(|f_n-f| \cdot |f_n| > \eta/2) &\leq \mu(|f_n-f| \cdot |f_n|>\eta/2, |f_n| \leq M) \\ &\quad + \mu(|f_n-f| \cdot |f_n|>\eta/2, |f_n| > M), \end{align*}$$
and so
$$\mu(|f_n-f| \cdot |f_n| > \eta/2) \leq \mu(|f_n-f| >\eta/(2M)) + \mu(|f_n| > M). \tag{1}$$
As $f_n \to f$ in measure, the first term on the right-hand side converges to $0$ as $n \to \infty$. For the second one, we note that
$$\begin{align*} \mu(|f_n|>M) &= \mu(|f_n-f| < \eta, |f_n|>M) + \mu(|f_n-f|\geq \eta, |f_n|>M) \\ &\leq \mu(|f| \geq M-\eta) + \mu(|f_n-f| \geq \eta). \end{align*}$$
If we let $n \to \infty$, then $\mu(|f_n-f| \geq \eta) \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$. Hence,
$$\limsup_{n \to\infty} \mu(|f_n| >M) \leq \mu(|f| \geq M-\eta),$$
and therefore, by (1),
$$\limsup_{n \to \infty} \mu(|f_n-f| \cdot |f_n| > \eta/2) \leq \mu(|f| \geq M-\eta).$$
Since $\mu$ is a finite measure, we know that $\mu(|f| \geq M-\eta) \to 0$ as $M \to \infty$, and therefore we conclude that
$$\limsup_{n \to \infty} \mu(|f_n-f| \cdot |f_n| > \eta/2) = 0.$$

Platinum Equity Closes $6.5 Billion Fund, Purchases Staples' Australia and New Zealand Business Units
By Henry Meier
Platinum Equity announced Monday the closing of a $6.5 billion fund and the new investment vehicle's latest acquisition, a buyout of Staples Inc.'s Australian and New Zealand business for an undisclosed sum.
The Staples transaction is indicative of the kinds of wide-ranging deals the Beverly Hills-based private equity shop will pursue through the newly-raised capital fund, according to a statement from Platinum Equity founder and Chief Executive Tom Gores.
"We have the capacity, the capability and the capital necessary to handle transactions of any size and complexity anywhere in the world," Gores said.
Platinum Equity will leverage its management expertise to streamline the operations of the South Pacific Staples carve out.
"The Staples business in Australia and New Zealand has extraordinary potential as a standalone enterprise," said Platinum Equity principal Adam Cooper in a statement. "It has a strong customer base, dedicated employees and a long history in the markets it serves. We look forward to partnering with the management team to make substantial investments to optimize the company's digital and systems capabilities with a focus on enhancing the customer experience."
The new fund is the fourth private equity fund raised by Platinum Equity since 2004 and by far the largest, almost doubling the size of their $3.5 billion vehicle that closed in 2012. The firm began raising capital for the new fund in May 2016 and received contributions from more than 200 limited partners, mostly in the institutional space. It officially closed in February and was heavily oversubscribed, according to Platinum Equity.
The scale of the new fund will likely continue the trend of Platinum Equity doing more sizeable deals. The Staples deal announced Monday follows the firm's $4 billion November purchase of Columbus, Ohio-based Emerson Network Power, which was rebranded as Vertiv.

Karadaya appears set to be named leader of Bulgaria's MRF
April 24, 2016 April 25, 2016 Clive Leviev-Sawyer Ahmed Dogan, Lyutvi Mestan
The national conference of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms appears set to elect one of its current acting co-chairpersons, Mustafa Karadaya, as the party leader.
Apart from several media reports ahead of the April 24 conference saying that MRF founder and honorary president Ahmed Dogan wanted Karadaya named as party leader, one of the foreign guests at the conference, ALDE president Hans van Baalen, also seemed to regard the election as a foregone conclusion, referring to Karadaya as "your next president" some hours before the election was due to be held.
The leadership election is a sequel to the melodrama in the MRF in late 2015, when Dogan deposed then-leader Lyutvi Mestan over what Dogan called Mestan's "gaffe" in publicly backing Ankara in its dispute with Moscow over the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey in Syrian airspace.
Mestan, who was elected leader of the MRF at its previous congress in January 2013, has gone on to form his own party, DOST, accompanied by a few MRF figures who left the party with him after his ousting from the leadership and all party posts.
After the deposing of Mestan, a triumvirate was named to take stewardship of the party leadership posts pending the holding of the national conference.
In the very first few minutes of the congress, which is being attended by Dogan – in his first appearance at a public event for a few years – MRF stalwart Yunal Lyutvi attacked Mestan's DOST as a party with no vision and no plan.
Being attended by about 900 delegates, the party conference gave ovations to Dogan, who sat in a VIP spot on the side of the hall, not on the stage nor in the front rank of seats.
Notwithstanding the expected election of Karadaya to the post of party leader, reports said that the conference would widen the powers of the honorary president, formalising what no one doubts to be the pre-eminent place of power that Dogan occupies in the party that he founded.
In the first stages of the conference, Karadaya was given prime spot, out of the three co-leaders, to deliver the political report covering the years since the 2013 conference. That conference had been notable for not only the handover of the post of the leadership of the party, that is led and supported in the main by Bulgarians of Turkish ethnicity, but also for an incident in which a man rushed on stage towards Dogan, wielding a gas pistol.
In a lengthy address, Karadaya recounted the past years, which in Bulgaria have seen five governments, three parliaments, four elections and two referendums.
He referred to the 2013 protests against the "Oresharski" government, in which the MRF played a key part, but omitted the fact that the catalyst for them was the abortive appointment of controversial business person and MRF MP Delyan Peevski as head of the State Agency for National Security.
Observers at the congress noted that Peevski did not appear to be present. Prime Minister Boiko Borissov said in recent days that Peevski had left the country.
Karadaya described the 2013/14 anti-government protests as, in his version, presented as civil protests but in which there had been "active participation" of then-opposition parties.
He added sideswipes at DOST and depicted Borissov's current government as failing to live up to its promises.
On Dogan's behalf, a message was read out to the conference, saying that the past 25 years had "showed that the MRF was a strategic investment in stability and peace in Bulgaria". Maintaining and using this political capital would yield dividends in freedom, Dogan's message said.
The congress is being attended by, apart from representatives of the ALDE and Liberal International organisations of which the MRF is a member, representatives of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, minority socialist breakaway party ABC, the National Movement for Stability and Progress that was founded around Simeon Saxe-Coburg and with which the MRF previously was in government, and minority party the Bulgarian Democratic Centre.
Also present were a significant number of MPs from Turkey and mayors of Turkish towns.
The presence at the congress was announced of diplomatic representatives (no ambassadors, though), from the embassies of the United States, Russia, the UK, Poland, Macedonia, Japan, Algeria, Azerbaijan "and others".
There was no reference to the Turkish ambassador – who 14 days earlier had been present at the launch congress of Mestan's DOST party.

Q: order records with a search How can I have order records to be able to work with it?
I tried
not_clean_data = self.env['my_model'].search([],order = 'user_id, datetime asc')

but in vain

A: You have to provide order rule for each field separately:
not_clean_data = self.env['my_model'].search([], order='user_id desc, datetime asc')

A: Define in your py  file
 def _get_default_data(self):
                        not_clean_data = self.env['my_model'].search([], order='user_id desc, datetime asc, limit=1)
                        print "group:"
                        return not_clean_data

        xyz = fields.Many2one('my_model', "ABC", change_default=True, default=_get_default_data)

I hope it helps you.
Thanks
