I love it! It was on my list for DD. Very underused now as well so she won't be one of many.

I love it. My sister is Amy (well Aimee) and I was always jealous that she got the prettier name.

Love it! Cute for a baby and lovely for an adult too.

CuppaZa · 06/06/2020 16:16

I really don’t like it, but I’m very certain I’ll be in the minority

likeamother · 06/06/2020 16:20

I love it too! It was on my list (the Aimee spelling though I like both). The only downside is the multiple spellings, but that applies to Katie, Claire, Isabel etc. too so just one of those things!

Its really nice op can only think of one and she is lovely.
Its a simple pretty name.

LotusClover · 06/06/2020 16:46

I love it, though I prefer the Aimee spelling.

DramaAlpaca · 06/06/2020 16:48

I adore it.

For me it has to be the Amy spelling - simple, timeless and pretty. Aimee is a frilly version of a lovely, unfussy name.

SoberCurious · 06/06/2020 16:50

Love it.
Both spellings are nice.

SoberCurious · 06/06/2020 16:51

Aimee is french so maybe a bit more chic?
Or maybe a but try hard if you are not french...?

I like it! I know an Aymi, which is a more unusual spelling. Amy and Aimee are probably safer to use though.

GRW · 06/06/2020 16:54

I like it and prefer the Amy spelling.

Mopani · 06/06/2020 16:54

Love the name Amy. Very cute for a baby and suits an adult as well. Timeless.

Greenkit · 06/06/2020 16:55

My dd is Amy (nickname Tink) ❤ so I love it

Litthefirealready · 06/06/2020 17:16

I love it - prefer the spelling Amy

Shaunthesheep34 · 06/06/2020 17:17

I love it, I prefer the Aimie spelling though.

PintOfGin · 06/06/2020 17:19

I like the sound of it but as a 90's baby there were so many Amys in my years at school , at least 2/3 in every class so It is a bit dated to me as it seemed to be an 'it' name along with the Katies, Gemma, Hannah, Kirsty ect.

WinWinnieTheWay · 06/06/2020 17:22

It's a bit dated as there were tonnes in the 70's and 80's.

It is pretty though.

Enderthedragon · 06/06/2020 17:23

Yes, I really like it. It's timeless and a lovely name. It's ever so slightly on the dull/ubiquitous side, but I think part of that is because it's so timeless actually, it has stood the test of time. Not explaining myself very well there, but overall I like it Smile

AcrobaticCardigan · 06/06/2020 17:25

I think it’s a bit boring & very dated (as in 80s/90s).

bridgetreilly · 06/06/2020 17:25

I would pronounce Aimee differently (Ay-may). I think Amy is actually much prettier than Aimee.

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/06/2020 17:31

Love it, I prefer the spelling Aimee though as it just looks more complete to me and I prefer a longer name

SallyWD · 06/06/2020 17:39

Classic, timeless.

Ingridla · 06/06/2020 17:45

Don't like

AnnaSW1 · 06/06/2020 17:45

I like it
