Hello, I was thinking about the name Amélie (and its variant Amelie) and I thought that it could very well have been a masculine name too.

Amélie comes from the Germanic Amal (something like laborer/noble), it's a neutral radical, it wasn't predistined to become feminine.

And if for some reason Germanic doesn't work I don't see why the Roman Amelius (there was a philosopher named like that) couldn't become Amélie in modern French, like Patricius became Patrice. Yes the -ie is feminine in French names but in the Ancien Régime mainly there were male Annes or Maries after all, and Camille is used for both genders.

It could have been spelled Améli/Amély (like Jacky) for guys maybe, but the English language could have very well have added -ie at the end (Charlie Kirk was male after all).

That or some weird northern France langue d'oïl shit that would turn Amalric to Amélie, there's three words to say to shit in French after all (chier, caquer and caguer, because the Latin cacare was transformed by the langues d'oïl, Ariptan and Occitan).

However you pull it that's still far easier to have male Amelies than having the Nazis win WW2...
