Thoughts on Aimée/Amy

[Vickee]

Hello,
DH and I have finally decided on a name for our little girl but can’t decide on the spelling. What are your thoughts on Aimée vs Amy?
We like the name as it is recognisable but not used very often these days!
Any thoughts on the name are welcome as well as similar suggestions :)

@UnprecedentedPoster haha now I'm annoyed I didn't think of that for a boy, I could have had a great trio there!

Amy is lovely

Amy. Lovely name.

Amy for me ; and definitely if that is the way you want it pronounced.
It is a classic name and to me bridges the gap between' old fashioned maid' names and plain classics such as Mary , Jane etc which are coming in.

I know an Amie and an Amey.

Aimée

because it means loved. I like accents.
Amy makes me think of Britney's If you seek Amy
Little women (and Amy was the worst)
Amy Poehler (meh)
The Brooklyn 99 character Amy Santiago is called Ames a lot as a nickname.

Amy. It's lovely, simple and sweet.

Aimee is unnecessarily fussy, with or without the accent.

I have a 9 year old Amy.
Short and simple.
Nickname is Eidelweiss!

The mother of an Aimmiee (correct spelling) told me they’d chosen that spelling as it is classier. I wasn’t convinced.

I have a friend who was named Amy. She changed it by deed poll to Aimee (with an accent - pronounced the same way) as she preferred that spelling. Lovely name either way - she considers the newer spelling to be more current

I think the French way of spelling it is prettier but I'd drop the accent.

Accents are a PITA. You can use alt codes. Alt+0234 is ê.

Which is useful of me. Try Alt + 0233

@BikeRunSki, this made me laugh. You couldn't make it up ! I met a woman who'd named her daughter Tonii, for the same reason.
I'm like you, I remain unconvinced.

Amy

I think Amy or Aimee without the accent.

Definitely Amy

Unless you are French, Amy. Spelling your name out every time is annoying.

My name is Aimee. I've spent my life spelling it out. 🙈 I don't particularly dislike it but I wish I'd always been Amy instead.

Every teacher I had during childhood would spell it wrong (inventing weird and wonderful new spellings, like Aimmee and Amiee) or would just go ahead and spell it Amy.

If you like the name then call your little one Amy, it's so much simpler.

@Amdone123, because why use 3 letters when 8 will do?!

Amy

Partly because it will be easier, but also because it’s charm is its simplicity so I think a simple spelling works best.

I have an Aimee. Just couldn’t be bothered with the accent! I love it, I think it’s pretty and feminine.

Amy

Amy, otherwise she will go through her entire life having to spell it out to everyone, like my friend's daughter has to. As there were two "Amy's" one was always known as "Amy IE".

The accent it changes the pronunciation.

With no accent it's Aymee

Thanks for all your comments, glad everyone agrees it’s a lovely name....no we just need to decide on spelling!!
