Thoughts on Amy

[chillichutneysarnie]

Not particularly popular at the moment so wondering what springs to mind for people.
Also liking Amber, so clearly have a thing for two syllable 'Am' names. Any other names to throw in the ring?

Really like Amy! Agree that it kinds of seems sweet and strong, modern and classic at the same time. I’m not so keen on other spellings.

Amber is nice enough but prefer Amy.

Love Amber. Not so keen on Amy but a decent name.

I like Amber even though it's not the same type of name as most I like,

I know two really nasty Amys so its put me right off. Shame really. How about Aimee?

Amy and Amber are both lovely.

Alison / Alice / Alexandra with the shortening of Ali would be my suggestion. I like Alison a lot at the moment. I think because it's rare for this generation and it was the name of my aunt, who I adored growing up.

Both lovely.

I also like Amalia and Amelie

Love the name Amy... my MN name is a play on my real name...

I love the name Amy

Amy is ok, I just find it a bit nothing-y

Amber I am not keen on, never sure why.

Amelia is very overdone

Emmie as a nn for Emerald maybe?!

I wanted Amy for my girl due next week but was devoted. I think it's lovely

I have an Amy and it's a beautiful name

So boring! Ambers nice

I am Amy, age 40, and from the tail end of the name trend. I'd love for it to make a comeback, not because I love the name (I don't) but to add more age ambiguity on CVs as the original Amy cohort ages into the Barbara and then Dorothy age!

So you have my blessing 😀

I love Amy and like Amber.

Also love Amaya which is on similar lines but maybe more contemporary than Amy, if that is something that bothers you.

It's a lovely name. Simple and classic. And actually not many called it!

A lovely name. It reminds me of the little girl in Fly Away Home.

Love Amber , Amy is great too

I think names like amy and ben are very 90s but also were so popular there was 3 in my class call amy. But its not awful. Id probably spell it Amiee

I find Amy exceptionally plain and dislike Amber.
Amelia?

I've never met an Amy who wasn't a faux-sweet, poisonous witch, so it's a no from me.

Amaryllis!
