My name is Amy and I love it. I was born in 1996 and there were six Amys in my year at high school. We were all known by our surname initial (in my case Amy F). I think it is a really pretty name, and suits females of all ages. Two of my friends have had daughters named Amy in the last couple of years and my eighty year old neighbour is called Aimee. (Although I prefer the AMY spelling) My son thinks its hilarious when he calls me AmyMummy!
My name is Amy - I was born in 1994, but didn't know a lot of other Amys. I think It's a great name - fun and easy to pronounce. Not too serious or old-lady sounding. Good Name!!!
I love my name b/c it suits me. It is short, sweet and beautiful! That is me! The meaning is lovely! I chose to spell my name Ami in the 6th grade and I am now 31. It stuck and I love it! Embrace your name and make all of the Amy's of the world proud! We are beloved! A fellow Ami! (Amy) Ami NeCole Kennedy
My name is Amy and I was born in 76. I really hated my name growing up. It was so common and boring. My dad's name was Jack and my mom wanted to name me Jaqueline, which would have been way more cool & unique. So even'though I'm grown now and don't hate my name...I'm not really a fan.
I chose to call my daughter Amy because I want her to always remember that she will be forever loved. I think it is beautiful and original that a three letter word can express an emotion as strong and as pure as love. On my part, I will have no trouble explaining to my daughter why I gave her that name. I can only hope she will appreciate it as much as I do.
My daughter's name is Amy (Amy Elizabeth), and we love her name, and she does to. It is a lovely, simple, classic name. Let us remember when we are all clambering to call our child something unique, that'sometimes a beautiful name'such as Amy will always be in style, no matter what your generation.
I like being an Amy. It is rarely mispronounced and most people know how to spell it. It's only drawback is that it never'sounded formal, I always wished it was short for something like Amelia so if I reci'ved something official it would have a more embelished feel. On a whole though, I think It's familiar without being common.
Amy is a really cute, short name. My BFF says they wish their name was Amy. I'm lucky it is. My BFF sometimes calls me Ammy (pronouced : Eh-mey) for fun. I abosulutey ♥ (love) my name!!
My best friend`s name is Amy. She is beautiful, very nice to communicate with and It's always so nice to be with her. I like this name very much :-)

My name is Amy and I was born in 76. I pretty much hate it. I didn't even get a middle name to possibly use. Jipped!

My name is Amy and I have met numerous people with the'same name. I even went to school with a girl having the'same last name too. It was always confusing. I even run into other Amy's with my married name!

I was born in 1988 and there were so many Amys in my school. Growing up, I always wanted a more uncommon name.
the name amy is well good it is nice and short and easy to wright but i no lots of people with the'same name but i still love my name people call me amz 4 short it isnt any shorter though❤️
Though he often has to repeat it when people first meet him, most everyone has reacted very positively to our son's name over the last 23 years. We chose it because we thought It'sounded strong, pretty cool, and wanted something kind of unusual to go with our very common last name. A few years went by before we met another, but now It's not so rare. And, like several other names that used to be exclusively boys' names, we've now heard of a couple girls with it, though spelled differently. We love the name. (I joked to my husband, while pregnant with our daughter, that maybe we should name her Zana.) Our son has always liked his name. And I think people tend to remember him partly because of it!
The name Amy peaked in popularity about 20 years after I was born, so people who read my name before they meet me assume that I'm younger. On a resume, that could be an advantage. It's a great name -- short, easy to spell and pronounce.
My name is Amy, I don't mind my name but I know 3 other people with the'same name and two of them have the'same middle name. I was thinking of starting to ask people to call me Mia though. Someone told me it could be used as a nickname for Amy:)
My name is Amy. My middle name is Lynn. I was born in 2000. I have a very short name. Amy seems to be unique but I don't like when It's spelled Amie. Also people use the French version Aimee. I like It'spelled Amy best.
Actually the original origin is Latin for the name Amy, with a 'y'. The french version has an 'i' on the end and means 'friend' (I studied french, not to mention my neighbor was from France and cleared my confusion on the comment left earlier). My mother was raised Roman Catholic and chose my name because of its origin and she wanted me to know that I was extremely loved, and would always be loved. Growing up I would have loved a different, longer name, but as time went on, and I discovered the true meaning and why she chose it, I couldn't ask for a better name.
Im 11 and im called Amy! I love the name. Although there are about 10 Amy's in my school!
My wife's name is amy jo. She was born in 75 so yeah maybe there is something to the 70's amy explosion ;p

It makes you who you are and that is definetly something to be proud of xx Bye bye PS Im 13 xxx
My name is Amy and I was born in 2003. It must be a small town thing, because growing up I thought my parents pulled my name out of a hat. I'd never met anyone else with it until I went to college. So much for being unique. But at the'same time I now love it and love the connection I get with other Amy's in my age group.
I was born in 77, and ugh.. I could never just write my first name on papers in Elementary school thru High School.. there were always so many Amy's in my classes..I guess after 33 years I am getting used to it.. although I wish my parents had named me something more exotic! ;)
My daughter-in-law and I now have the'same first and last name. I'm 41 and she's 22. We are both awesome with a great name I'm proud to have!

Amy is the greatest name. I am Blessed to have it as my name. When I was a baby, my grandfather used to always sing "Once in Love with Amy." Till this day (Iam 32 yrs old), I still cry when I hear people sing that song. Amy is thee perfect name: short, sweet & to the point!!! :)
This name is a derivative of Katarina and a root form of many continents since the movie Willow. A virtual explosion of meanings and contradictions from RUSSIA,SCANDINAVIA,JAPAN,HAWAII,AUSTRALIA,AFRICA. To me it means love,hope,faith,and protector of Gods planet and people. Beware and behold my little warrior princess and grand daughter "kaia".
I love my name. It's the one thing i've never felt the need to complain about. I love the meaning of it as well. I dont find a lot of people that have it, but It's common enough that everyone knows how to say it. It's a great name to have. Thanks mom!
When I was little I would always bug my parents because I hated my name Amalia. I always just felt that It'sounded to mean like if I had anger management problems hehe. Eventually kept researching my name and I found that my name was German, that I was normal, and I learned to love my name.
This is my name and i was born in '91 so i guess i was more or less one of the first. i digg my name and most other people do to-:)
me and one of my friends have this name and It's funny because when it comes to x-mas it looks like we send cards to our-selfs
I really like my name... it works for me...but sometimes i wish the meaning was different, you know❤️ like i wish it stood for something cool like 'butterfly, or cloud-watcher' or something really hippy-like. Lol.
The name ANA comes from ANNA, HANNAH, it is widely used in Portugal and Spain. Prononced Ah-na. It's a beautiful name, simple and classic, one N or two.
My name is Amy and my husband's name is Darryl, which is unique because they both mean the'same thing: "Beloved" i've always liked my name. No one ever'spells it wrong. i've had it for 50 years and I think It's been a great name to live with.
I will give my baby girl this name because it is so cute and sweet.
The name Amy rocks! It's a cute name and its nice and short. Although It's common, I don't meet a lot of people with the'same name as me.
My friend Amy can be very sketchy yet she is really smart so when she is wrong and i am right i like to rub it in. She is also very innocent and she does not get in trouble but overall Amy is a very good name for a very perfect person.
i love my name, although i didnt when i was younger, im 30 now, but when i was younger my sisters rebecca and samantha could always find things with their names on on holidays and places we visited,they never done anything Amy... now i have the same problem with my 6 year old Louise.. but i love my name now...
my sister is Amy... I think its a ok name.. I think it's too short plus I think all little girls should have a longer name so she can have a nick-name. However... my sister has the same middle name as me so I call her Amy May... i think it sounds better than "Amy"
I'm 15 and like i have 3 friends with the'same name! garr...It's too common for me...thats why i want to name my kids like october or sophi something different!
I like my name, Amy! At 32, it is cute and youthful! Although, I can't stand the variations of spelling that people are using nowadays - I actually have had people ask me how I spell my name - it drives me crazy!
My name is Amy, and I'm okay with it. On one hand, everyone's familiar with it, It's classic, It's easy to pronounce, you don't really get made fun of, and there aren't really any major negative connotations associated with it. However, sometimes I get a little annoyed with how common it is, especially among people my age. (I was born in 1993). In most social settings, work settings, etc. there are multiple Amys, so everyone always has to clarify "Amy Lee" or "Amy Jackson" or whatever. Also, if I hear someone yell "Amy!" when I'm out in public, I barely turn around anymore, because there are usually so many Amys around (Jamies, as well, and it can be hard to tell which name the person is saying).
my name is Amy and i was born it '95. i love my name and i wouldn't change it. i have only one other person in my year at school (1200 girls) and she'spells it 'aimee' i feel very individual with my name, although it is popular worldwide. Also my surname is very rare. And i love amy winehouse and amy adams
I really like being an 'Amy'. It's short, sweet and pretty and although It's quite common, I haven't met many people with the'same name.
I love my name, growing up it was common, but now im pretty happy with it. its classic
My name is the best.Its so common thats what makes it so good. I love my name because it means im loved( not that i always am) but its a great name but i do wish it could be that bit longa
I'm an Amy, and while I hated it when I was younger (far too many other Amys in school with me) now that I'm an adult I run into fewer othe's and I feel It'suits me.
Amy is unique, A Pretty, sexy, sassy, and powerful name.
I love my name. When I was younger I didn't like it much because there was another girl in my class with the'same name. She and I are the only people that I know with this name. I couldn't imagine having any other name.
My name's Amy, but luckily it Isn't such a common name in my country, I don't know anyone personally with the'same name. Also, It's got a meaning
Here are a couple of thnigs I have done that'seem to help Have a home for certain items. I'd have my kids put all their sports items in a certain color plastic bin. Ditto, cub scouts thnigs. Also, they know that certain thnigs have to be packed and ready to go right by the door, so they can grab their thnigs as we rush out the door (we are always rushing). Lastly, compartmentalize thnigs. Choose what you want your kid to do and have them only do one or two actvities at a time. For example, my daughter may want to play basketball and do track, but she doesn't do them simultaneously in the'same chunk of time. She'll play basketball for 3 months, then she'll do track. The'same thing with my son. He takes Karate, has scouts and CCD. He can't do anything more than that, plus his homework, so he just doesn't do the activities after'school. After CCD is over for the year, he may be able to do something else.
I love The name Amy. It happens to be my first name and their happens to be a teacher with my name and I am a freshmen and everyone likes it as well.
My daughters name is Amy. I think it is soooo pretty. I think It'suits her well, too. She is very calm and quiet and sweet natured. I love this name and I'm glad I picked for Amy Grace!!!
Ithink I love my name so much because it is so short and it makes up for my 12 letter last name.
My name is Aymee - pronounced the'same way, just spelled differently, and I wouldn't trade my name for the world. I am who I am.
Well I dont think my name Amy even suits me. Well its actually Amy-Lea but yeah. I spell it Amie now, I really disagree on having this name. Like Amy 1970 said, its really lame. I know what she means about having TOO many Amy's in the world. I had 6 in my class, there were just too many!!!
AmyAmyAmy :) or Aims for some people, bit of a boring name, but i like itt :)
Used to be JI'my, now It's always Jim with a capital "J". Great Name.
I love my name! I don't meet many other people with the'same name as me, It's easy to spell, pronounce, and sign forms. The only trouble is that people give me nicknames that are longer than the name itself. Oh, and finding personalized coffee mugs and whatnot is VERY easy.
My mom gave all 3 of my sisters long names so that when we are younger we can have nick-names and when we get older we can use our original names. Mine, is Amelia, my friends call me Amy. My younger sister, Galidiral ((off of Lord of the Rings)) we call her Ali, or Alison. Along with Emily, we call her Emma. Then there is Sarah, the oldest, we call her Sar. Anyways, hope i gave you a good idea about names... ~~amy~~
My sisters name is Amy. When she was in school she had lots of others with the same name. Most people called her Monkeyy for short. She definatly suits the definition but shes a bit of a rebel herself. She gets into trouble constantly haha. Her middle name is Jade. I think this is a good combination :D
It's an absolutely amazing name! Only I want to spell it as Ami
My 5yr old daughter's name is Amy. I found out yesterday from a strange woman that Amy is the name of a male fallen angel cast out of heaven and now of some second sphere. The information was disturbing to say the least
My Name Is Amy And I Love It Because Is My Name And No Other Amy Is Like Me.
My name is Amy. Amy Darleen'that is and I love my name. Most people don't know that Amy means beloved. When my parents had me they brought together two familys. My mom had three kids at the time and my dad had five kids. Altogether that makes nine kids including me. I am the littlest and sencie my name means beloved one every one thought it was perfact.
My husband insisted on the name Amy for our daughter, I wanted Amelia. She got my traditional middle name of May. I often have her called Amy May because Amy, Aimee seem quite common again. Now we just laugh that'she could marry a Mr Yam to have every combination of the 3 letters.
This is my name, and I was told that it means "beautiful smile," and every person I tell that to I'mediately tells me that It's a lovely name. I agree with everyone above; those who have this name know how difficult it can be to get non-indian people to pronounce your name correctly AND remember to keep saying it right. It's NAY-HA, not NEE-HA, NAY-A, or NY-HA. It's not that difficult to say, just imagine the "E" as an "A" instead. Other than that, I like my name!!
AMY Louise :) born december 2003 and i know loads of people called Amy my best friend is also called Amy Louise !!
I was born in 1983 and it must have been'the peak year for the name Amy. I think there were 10 Amy's in the 6th grade. I always had to go by Amy H. Fun thing is my best friend that I have known since elementary school is named Amy. We were always known as Amy 1 and Amy 2. It was fun to have such a easy name to spell and I like except when'trying to do a credit report. With a common first name and a popular last name (Anderson now)it can be confusing when you go to the doctors or other places that need ot know your name.
It's sooo common- don't you want a name that's more unique❤️ gosh.. It's so over used...
The name Amy truely rules. It's a very pretty and girly name, but also quite sophisticated. I love my name. ;)
They best I can describe my name is - sexy. It has a Y and an s. It's very unique. It's a classy name for classy ladies. I feel honored to have that name. I am my own person, unique, as this name is not commonly found. It's very feminine. To have this name comes with some responsibility. It's not for everyone.
I don't know any Amy who has ever'said they did not like their name, which is proof positive that It's a good, satisfying name. The name'seems to produces confident, self assured adults and to some extent keeps you feeling young since It's just a joyful, happy name!
Amy is such a beautiful name. It means beloved. Such a classic. Some celebrities with the name. Amy Adams, Amy Smart, Amy Lee, Amy Jo Johnson. I also knew a woman named Amy, she was very sweet.
i am called amy amd the ONLY problem is i don't get a nickname as it is too short. But Amy is really PERFECT P.S i know loads of peaple called Amy so It's unfair!!
My name is Amy ❤️ I love my name but can never find anyone else with the'same name ❤️
My name is Amy and I like the name. It is somewhat common though.
i have a "friend" called amy and she's sooooo boring and smelly. she alsways goes around w horse shut all over her and she walks like a turtle
My sister is named Amy-Leigh, she gets called Aims, which gives the Amy part of the name an extra letter'so it is hardly a shortened version :) The only problem is that my name is Emily, and the two names are very similar, I get called Emi, so Emi and Amy tend to get mixed up alot.
I love the name Amy...i've hardly ever met anyone around here where we live that has the'same name. It's short and easy to say.
Although my name is Amy, people usually think that I am saying that my name is Mamie. Some people think that my name is short for Amelia, which it is not. I also get asked how to spell my name, which always puzzles me because Amy is such an easy name to spell. I guess people are unsure which Amy-the French Amy or the American Amy. My mother wanted to name me Tabitha or Bridget, but since Amy was much more popular in 1988 the RN in the delivery ward convinced my mother to name me Amy. I'much prefer my middle name (Suzannah), which is less cheerleader-ish and serious sounding.
I was born in 1991. Amy (middle name Aileen.) I can't say that I have hated my first name, but when I was younger, I sometimes wondered what it would be like to have a more unique name too.
I love it! Short and sweet but do u know how hard it is to say I'm amy❤️ I don't have anyone else in my school and dont meet many othe's with the'same name
My name is Amy and I was born in '73. It was my dad's favorite name. There were 3 Amy's in my high school French class (class size was ~22)! Love my name and would never change it.
My name is Amy and my middle name Elizabeth I love it. I only know 2 other people with the'sam name!:)
im naming my lil girl Amy cause my sister died & her name was Amy so i could pass it on 2 my lil girl
I love my name! I agree, there were WAY too many Amy's in the 70's. fortunately there were only a few others in my grade
I love my name it is simple but a classic. wouldn't change it for the world!
MY NAME IS AMY AND I DONT LIKE IT!! yeah its alright n all but i dont kno wat people can call me for a nickname..cept amo n amez..its quite annoying but by the end of the day its my name n yeh i spose i'll havta live with it :-)
I was born in 1949 and all the way through college knew only one other Amy. These days most of the Amys I know are at least 25 years younger. I have always felt like a kid at heart so, I LOVE my name. Always have, always will. I am so happy my parents named me Amy.
My name is Amy, I was born in 1988 and i've always loved my name. There were a lot of us in the 70s but It's not that common anymore.
I like the name Amy. My girlfriend is named Amy and she's quite attractive with an astounding libido to boot. Two thumbs up for Amys
This is my name and I love it It's pronounced rain- a
I have always liked my name. i've never wanted to change it because It's so classic and yet fun.
My name is Amy and I love my name. I was born in 2003 and nowadays there aren't very many Amy's (that I know of )and thats good with me
This is a very uncommon name. I come from a spanish speaking family and had no problems with the pronunciation of my name until I decided to go to college in the US. In spanish "U" sounds like "oo" in moon. "ri" as in "reel" and "el" as letter "l". So it would be something like oo-ree-"l" as you might know the'sound of "r" in spanish is much stronger than in english. Americans pronounce my name like You're-"l"; It is kind of difficult for people to pronounce my name but I really like It'since it is very different and unusual.
We named our little girl Ava seven months ago.. Going into delivery, we still hadn't chosen a name-- Ava wasn't even on our radar, but as soon as I saw her, I said "she needs a name as beautiful and feminine as she is...I'm thinking Ava". My husband I'mediately agreed and loved it. We named her Ava Jude... I doubt I'll ever meet another "Ava Jude".
