Comments for the name Aimée

I like this name, but only if it is pronounced the French way, I don't like it pronounced like Amy (though I like Amy, Aimée, pronounced like Amy is just wrong to me). Aimée comes from the french word "aimer" which means "to love/like". It is hardly used as a name in France. Aimé (the male version) is even more popular for boys than Aimée is for girls.

Aimée is my name. I have always liked it as it is French and an unusual spelling in England. However, I do not like the English Amy. I think the French form gives it more of an air of beauty.

Aimee is nice, but Amy is much better. Aimee is not any prettier than Amy.

Aimee is my pen-name, but I feel more comfortable using it than my real name. I live in Russia so this name seemes to be extraordinarily unusual.

I think Aimee is a very pretty name. It sounds rather bland in French though the meaning is very nice. The spelling is much nicer than the traditional Amy.

Aimee (Leonie Allegonde Marie) is the wife of prince Floris of Orange-Nassau (The Netherlands).

My sister's name is spelt AIMIE (aimie), and I think that this is a really nice way to spell her name. It was not an idea that my parents had - they spelt the French version wrong so she got that name, but I think that it is beautiful and unique, don't you agree?

I think Amy spelled Aimee is unusual enough. It will be too hard for her if you change it to Amiee.

A beautiful and unique name. I prefer it to the English version "Amy" which - I think - is dated and overly popular. I have many French friends and I first thought they would think it was a silly name as it to them meant "liked/loved" (where the English version Amy means "beloved"), but on the contary they find it also a beautiful name and prefer it the the English pronunciation. In response to and commenter above I agree the name Aimie is also very nice. Of course too unique due to the girl's parents. I think it also - in English - is the correct spelling for it. So the pronunciation is correct and more phonetic. Both I feel are beautiful names.

Amy is such a cute name, but I hate this spelling - it looks really stupid and ruins the name Amy which is really cute when it's just three letters.

This name is really common in Ireland, where Mimi is the usual nickname.

My mom gave me the name Aimee` because she liked how it sounded, but she didn't like how it was spelled so she spelled it the French way (Aimee`). I love having my name spelled this way because it makes me unique and I like that because then I know that not many other people have their name spelled like me. I also love the meaning of the name "beloved," I like the meaning because then it kind of ties in with my middle name a little bit which is Rose. So my first and middle name turns into "beloved rose." Rose has a very bitter sweet meaning to me now because my grandma's name was Rose, sadly she passed away a little over a year ago. To me that is why my name has such a special meaning to me now a days.

I can't really imagine pronouncing it like Amy.

Aimee Graham is a pretty American actress and also a sister of Heather Graham.

This is my name. However, the accent is on the second E not the first. I'm not sure why since I never spell it with the accent anyway. Therefore I pronounce it like the traditional Amy.

I like my name I suppose. Sometimes it gets annoying when everyone spells or pronounces it wrong. But I like this spelling better than the traditional Amy, it makes me unique.

I think it's pretty, but a little too plain for my tastes.

I think this is a nicer spelling of the name. Not fond of the Amy spelling.

Princess Aimée of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven (b. 1977) is the wife of HH Prince Floris of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven, the youngest son of HRH Princess Margriet of the Netherlands and Pieter van Vollenhoven.

I used to pronounce this name like Amy; then like "eye-mee"; but I finally decided to look it up here in the database to see what it means, and I find its actual pronunciation is "e-MAY" - and now I love it! The spelling looks cute, and it's much better than your typical Amy.

I've ALWAYS had people pronounce my name AY-me. Just like Amy.

Aimee Willard was a star lacrosse player who was murdered on her way home from a night out with friends. Her car was left running, and her body was found, but the killer was unknown.

I prefer this spelling of Aimee. I think it looks more elegant.

Aimee is only spelt this way by British parents who want to try and make a very common and boring name sound and look different, a gross distortion of the English langugue. I know at least five "Amy's" with their name spelt like this, so hardly different.

Ay-may is slightly more difficult to pronounce, in my opinion, since we're all so used to saying Amy. Pronounced the same way, though, makes it a refreshing and unique variation of an over-used name.

Aimee Lynn Chadwick, an actress & filmaker is a famous bearer of this name.

This is the name of the heroine of a novel called The Fortieth Door by Mary Hastings Bradley. The book, which she wrote in 1920, is a romance/adventure story and takes place in Egypt.

In England this is a very common way to spell Amy. I don't really see why not - after all, Amy is only a respelling of Aimee in the first place. And Aimee (pronounced "eh-meh") is pretty much extinct in France. I think it's overreacting to call Aimee an illiterate way to spell Amy - you could just as easily make the argument the other way around. Besides, "emmay" or whatever is not really much like the French pronunciation which you could only do if you switched into a proper French accent half-way through the sentence you were saying; hence why we pronounce it "ay-mee" in the first place. It's the English pronunciation.

Welsh singer Aimee Anne Duffy (known as Duffy). She came 2nd in 'Wawffactor' (a Welsh version of Pop Idol) in 2003.

My sister's name is Aimee. I think it's beautiful, classy, and intelligent. It has a lovely meaning. I'm also a big fan of Anouk Aimee a French actress of the fifties. It's a great name to name your daughter!

In one of Judith Lennox's novels - 'A Step In The Dark' - the main character Bess has a daughter called Aimée. Her other children are called Frazer, Michael, Kate, Rebecca and Eleanor.

Aimee is the titular character of the book Aimee by Mary Beth Miller. Aimee kills herself before the book starts and the narrator, Zoe, is accused of murdering her. Whenever I hear this name, I think of that.

My friend's name is Aimee, but she just pronounces it like Amy. I don't find this name to be any more beautiful than Amy, I'm rather neutral about it.

Meaning: Loved, beloved.

Pronounced aimay.

Pronounced "ie-mai".

This name is gorgeous pronounced e-MAY, but since most Americans just see it as a variant of the plain-Jane Amy, I really haven't liked it.

Aimee is actually my name, but I pronounce it neither like "ay-mee" or like "ay-mey".
I pronounce it "ah-mee", which is completely different from what everyone is saying it is supposed to be pronounced! How strange. It's rather interesting that people have different ways of pronouncing this name--I've heard many different pronunciations of it.

My name is Aimee, and as the person above me stated, I was always told (from my French relatives) that the French pronunciation is ah-mee. I go by the English pronunciation though and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. This name is more commonly used in England than France anyway and I like the spelling much better than Amy. It's different without being too weird and fancy without being too pompous. I love being an Aimee. :)

I know two people named Aimee. One pronounces it the French way and the other pronounces it "Amy". I think it's a pretty way to spell it.

The pronunciation on here is wrong, it doesn't sound that different than Amy even when said in French

I dislike this as a spelling of Amy in English. It reminds me of something being aimed at. The "aimer" aims at the "aimee".
