It gives me the opposite impression. I don't see it as clunky, I see it as friendly and warm and bright. Like a freckled-face kid.

Amy, just because of Amy Pond.

I have good character associations with the name, so definitely my favourite.

Beverley (where I live) is fresher but both are boring.

It's more feminine and less dated.

that's a hard choice ...
Amy sounds less like somebody's grandmother, but Beverly doesn't sound quite so washed-out and bland.

Actually I objectively prefer Beverly to Amy in sound, but Beverly feels way to frumpy and I just can't get on board. Usually that doesn't bother me, but Beverly rubs me the wrong way.
It might be because I went to school with one who was very dated in the way she dressed and acted. It was like she acted like an old lady, but she was just a kid. She was truly a Beverly at heart.

This may be a reason I dislike Beverly: It makes me feel guilty.
When I was a child, there was a girl named Beverly who lived down the street. My friends and I were cruel to her and excluded her. I don't know why, there was nothing about her to particularly invite that treatment. We were all mean to her, but as I recall I was the ringleader. I can remember doing it but I can't get inside my child mind to understand why I was doing it. I feel bad about it. So Beverly conjures up negative feelings.

Even though Amy was most popular 20/30 years ago it still seems on trend, and has a much more timeless quality (think Amy Marsh in Little Woman) where as Beverly specifically brings to mind either a 60 or older woman or a 90 year old man.
I also just don't find the sound of Beverly attractive at all.
