Amelia? A-me-lee-ah OR A-meal-yah? I like the 2nd one not so keen on the first, but i have a feeling people would use the 1st one?!?

Am-ee-lee-uh :)
Amelia I would pronounce a-MEE-li-ah, I would pronouce it as 4 syllables.
Amilyah I would pronouce a-MIL-ya, with no EE at all (MIL rhyming with "will").
Depends whether you want an EE sounds with that second syllable or not. If you do, I don't think Amilyah is the spelling that you want.
Ameelya? (gosh that looks awful)
Amielya? (better, but still awkward)
Amealyah? (not any better)
HTH :o

Amelia is DD1's middle name. We pronounce it A-mee-lee-a.
1st one for me... the 2nd to me sounds like a lazy speaker who can't bothered pronouncing it correctly IMO. If you want it pronounced the 2nd way you may have to spell it differently IYKWIM ?
