Amy -- any thoughts??

DH is DEAD SET on naming our daughter Amy. In all honesty, what are your thoughts on the name (besides the fact that it very well may be YOUR name)? ; )
Thanks!

Because of the proliferation of nicknaming, I see Amy moving back up slightly, already!
It has a simple charm about it, if you think of the name in and of itself and not the five or six you were seated next to in class in 1985! Just enough time has passed for folks to be able to view it apart from whom they knew, I think.
Funny thing about it- it was the 2nd most popular name of the entire decade of the 1970d in America- yet it doesn't scream 1970 like Jennifer, Lisa, Stephanie, etc.
I think this is because it is an OLD name and again, has that -ee ending/nicknamey feel to it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is- you could do a lot worse.
Perhaps you could warm to a more formal name with an Amy nn-
Amelia, Amanda, Miranda, Amity, Araminta
Or even as a double name, to spice it up a bit-
Amy Beth, Amy Lynn, Amy Clare, Amy Rose, Amy Leigh, Amy Rae, etc.
Best wishes, Ginger
