Amy? Or another from shortlist?

[namedecision]

We are struggling to choose a name for DD2 who is due soon. DD1 is named Clara.

My top name is Amy, which I've always loved. But it seems out of fashion right now? I went to see Little Women last week and DD2 was kicking all the way through (I know Amy isn't always a likeable character but she is in the latest version IMO!)

Other names we've considered are:

Ava
Sophia
Elise

What do you think?

Amy is lovely, so simple and pretty. That spelling only, though.

I like the others on your list too.

I really like Amy. Also, how about Lucy? I’ve always found that to be a lovely classic name too

@DancerOnIce Lucy is a great suggestion!

Amy is lovely. I would go with that!

Amy! Don’t spell it any other way. Meanings of love and beloved.

My dd in reception is Amy so it's a yes from me

I have a name that is spelt with a ie instead of an ea. So much easier to go with the English traditional Amy.

I think Amy's a bit bland. Prefer Sophia to go with Clara, like pp suggestion of Lucy.

Amy is much nicer than Lucy or Sophia; too many Sophia’s and Sophie is nicer imo.

No, sorry I think it's quite dull and there's so little to it!

I'd much rather be a Clara.

Ava is terrible and overused
Elise not great

I'd go for Sophie (rather than Sophia)

Lucy is a great suggestion @namedecision

Amy is lovely

I like Amy. Alice has a similar feel to me

@settlersofcatan yes, I love Alice! Unfortunately DH wasn't keen though.

I like Amy and think it goes really well with Clara.

Like Amy, goes well with Clara. What about Louisa?

Definitely Amy. There aren't many little ones about, these days.

Amy is a great name and there won’t be many others about! I have a little Amy and she’s ace!

Lovely, classic and refreshing.

Amy Sophia sounds quite nice!

I think Amy's lovely - yeah I get that it was a bit trendier at the end of the last century but I don't think it's too stuck in that time, and as a name it's been around for a really long time (Emma Hamilton's birth name was Amy!). Pairing it with Clara restores some of its Victorian credentials.

Clara is fab

And Amy is lovely.

I love Amy and Ava, both go lovely with Clara

Amy is lovely and if we had a daughter that would of been her name . We have 2 boys!!!

Clara is lovely!
Amy goes beautifully and it's classic.

Lots of Avas and Sophia/Sophie around.
I really dislike Elise...it's a bit ...the word we can't say.

But Elsie is good.

Team Amy!

I named my daughter Amy in 2021. We live in France (tried to be quirky and true to my roots with anglophone spelling[
My family (irish] were really surprised by the name - I think many of them thought it was a bit 90's and unexpected. It means beloved and actually dates back to medieval times, which I loved. She is sister to Rose and Grace. Did you go with Amy in the end?
