A lovely name that I've always been a fan of. Amy would be nice on a little girl these days.

I think it's very sweet. Two of my favorite people are named Amy (though one spells it Amie) so I have really good positive associations with it. It's a great name.

Amy is my name...Amy is my name. I didn't like the way it sounded growing up, but I've grown to like it (I'm 19). It's short, simple, timeless, and spunky. Kind of cute, but not frilly or stuck in one decade. It's not as common as you might think. It's just steadily used. I've never had that big a problem with others popping up in the same room. I just happened to be close friends with the one other Amy in my grade of 600 or so kids. If you think it goes well with the other names on your list, go ahead, add it. It's a good name. But I'd use it with a strong less common middle name because Amy doesn't have many nicknames. This site says Mimi is but I've never heard that one.

I love it, it's sweet and simple and recognizable and adorable and shaped like a little heart. I associate it really strongly with Mary.

Amy is okay. It doesn't trigger any bells or whistles as far as I'm concerned but it's nice. I do find it dated even though I have a young niece named Aimee Elisabeth.BTW, I've been meaning to tell you that Brenna Louise is just darling. :-)

I'll make sure to pass on your thoughts of Brenna's name to my brother and sister in-law. :)

I think it's a nice name. I also like how it's dropped in popularity. A little girl named Amy would probably be the only Amy in her class at school nowadays.

It is my name and I have always loved it. It's girly, sweet, and when you're a kid it's neat to have a name that's only three letters. I think it has an old-fashioned charm too. I'm happy I have this name. :)

I like it. I used to like it more back when I was a teenager, then it grew popular, and then I grew bored with it. But now I realize that I do like it still. I don't like it enough to use it, but I like it.

I used to find it really dated and kind of annoying, but lately I've really come around on it. I think it's really cute.
