Amy?

What are people’s thoughts on Amy? DH says it’s a little dated and very 80s, 90s. I tend to agree but I think it’s a sweet name and is not popular whilst still being normal and recognisable. What do people think?

The other name we have in mind is Charlotte but I’m not sure if it’s ‘the one’.

I like Amy it's simple and quite fresh sounding, not a name you hear often now. My best friend growing up was Amy - born in 86.
Amy Charlotte sounds beautiful too.

Amy is ok
Aimee is much nicer

No, Amy is nice in its simplicity. Aimee begs the how do I pronounce that question. I did French for years and I would wonder if its aymee aor ammAY.
Just stick to Amy.

Cringe when I see Aimee.

I like Amy and I don't think it's dated.

Thanks everyone, I like it too! It’s always been on my list for a baby girl’s name ❤

I hate the moment Amy. It is sickly and twee to me. I know several lovely Amy's, so am not sure where this reaction comes from tbh.

I think Charlotte is lovely.

Love it.

I really like it. You can't go wrong with Amy.

Isittimetoretire · 14/09/2023 10:43

I really like it, lovely and timeless. I prefer it to Charlotte. I like Charlotte but it's just a bit boringly obvious and like you just chose the first name you heard.

My sister is Amy well (Aimee) and I’m still jealous that she got the prettiest name.🤣

Amy is fine as it is. Changing the spelling ruins it.
