* Amy is bright, simple, and cheerily unpretentious. It was a monster hit in the 70s, but doesn't sound dated. Think of the name's recent decline as merely a "stock market correction" back to its natural place as a modest, beloved classic. The French Aimee is equally traditional but showier.
Middle Name Pick: Aime Christina
