I adore
Amy and it's been my favorite girls name for several years now. It's a family name for me (great-great-grandmother born 1800's her name was sometimes spelled Amey) so it will hopefully be easy for me to use it.
I know it was popular at the time I was born and before but somehow like you say it just doesn't seem as popular as
Tiffany,
Stephanie,
Stacy,
Tracy,
Brittany or even
Renee to me. I only know one
Amy who is a real
Amy and one of my online friends is
Amelia "
Amy" (but I liked the name before meeting her).
To me it's just a gorgeous name, simple spelling, sweet meaning and a bit spunky.
Love it! :)
