need a really pretty sweet girlie middle name to zuzsh it up a bit...DD1 is Ella Rose. suggestions please... and should we spell it Aimee?

other option is Ariane... and I adore Ari as a nn, but its had a lot of negativity from family/friends & I know it shouldn't but its kinda taken the shine off it a bit for me.

Ariane is so much nicer!

Amy is a bit...blah.

I am called Amy, given the choice I would choose to be called Ariane. I don't hate the name Amy but I think that it is just a little dull. I was born in the 80s which I believe was the height of Amy usage, it is just ever so standard.

Having said that I have friends with unusal names and they often wished they had a more normal name.

Are you the poster who had had Ariane trashed by family? Stick with it, do. I love Amy though - but classic spelling please.

I remember your previous thread. Please ignore everyone. Ariane is by far and away nicer than Amy or Aimee. I personally prefer Arianna, but I have a preference for a ending names.

its nice but crazy popular here.

I really dislike Amy/Aimee, and almost any other name that ends in an ee sound. Except Lucy and Emily.

If you have to do it please please do not spell it Aimee. It makes my teeth itch. I don't know why but it does!

Ella Rose is lovely.

Ariane is okay.

Iris Mae would go with Ella rose?

Amy is one of the sweetest, (even slightly sickly) names. Nothing sweeter on top, please! Mae is nice.

Amy is lovely, much nicer than Ariane. I like the Aimee spelling too but the trad simplicity of the English spelling is very charming.

scarletforya · 01/03/2014 13:12

Ariane is lovely.

Amy is ok but very often used. Why would you want to spell it Aimee? Stick to the proper spelling. Nothing cheapens a name more than trying to 'individualise' the spelling.

Ariane is far and away nicer.

Amy Grace
Amy Hope
Amy Fleur
Amy Beth

For some reason I think single syllable works well.

Aimee is a very different name IMO, prefer Amy

ClaimedByMe · 01/03/2014 13:09

I have an Aimee and the baby a few doors up from me is called Ariane, i really like Ariane.

My Aimee doesnt have a middle name so i cant help with that!

Btw, we loved Astrid. Didn't use it in the end, but it's similar to your choices. Smile

ImATotJeSuisUneTot · 01/03/2014 13:07

Amy is nice, not keen on Aimee.

Ariane is lovely.
