Amy?
I used to dislike Amy, but it's been on my mind quite a bit lately. I'm still not sure if I like it or not. Thoughts? Amy Gwendolen has been in my head as a possible combo. WDYT? Other suggestions?

I love the name Amy, always have. I think it's such a sweet name. Amy Gwendolyn (prefer that spelling) would be a nice combo. I also love Amy Belle, Amy Sarah, Amy Louisa, Amy Olivia, Amy Pearl, Amy Tess/Tessa, Amy Rachel, Amy Grace, Amy Hazel, Amy Esther, Amy Ruth and Amy Freya. I could continue, but that would take too long!

I like it spelled Amie or Aimee.

Of course, since this is my name, I'm not the most impartial person to ask...
But I couldn't imagine changing my name, as I think it suits me.
I used to get asked all the time if it was short for something, either Amethyst or Amelia. I've honestly never heard of anyone named Amethyst, so I thought it was extremely strange to be asked this more than once.

Nice combo. Gwendolen balances Amy out well.

I like it as a nickname.I like Amy but it's better as a nickname for Amelia. It's one of the few nicknames I like

I think it's lovely, but......It took me some time to learn to love my name. Now, though, I simply can't fathom the idea of having any other. ♥The single best combo for Amy is, of course, Amy Rae, but I should hate to have too many doppelgangers out there, and so I'll suggest alternatives. ;) Amy Gwendolen is nice, though I'd prefer Amy Gwendolyn.Amy Gloria

Amy MarigoldGiven that it's been well used within the past fifty years, I would want to see it with something that highlights its old-fashioned roots. Either long and elegant or short and down-home, you know? So I think you're on the right track with Gwendolen.Array

I listened to the song in the link... so cute!
There's also another song called "Once In Love With Amy" by Frank Sinatra. Have you heard that one?

I like the name Amy. Like I told queenv in her Janna/Jana, it's simple and feminine. It packs a lot of sweet punch for being just three letters long. It's as cute as it can be. Though it's slightly on the common side, it needs a rather unique, uncommon middle name.Amy Gwendolen is very nice. Also, what about:Amy Rosabella

I like Gwendolen, but I can't stand Amy.
Amy sounds childish and whiny to me. I think there are so many prettier A names that you could use, it would be a shame to use Amy.
