[name\_u]Honest[/name\_u] thoughts on this name - Is it too much? Nickname possibilities? How about with sisters [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f]? How about with the middle [name\_f]Diana[/name\_f]? TIA \<3 ---

I find [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] an underrated gem. It has a fun, familiar sound thanks to its similarity to [name\_f]Amy[/name\_f] and the ending of names like [name\_u]Cassidy[/name\_u], [name\_u]Kennedy[/name\_u], [name\_f]Charity[/name\_f], etc. I really like the nickname [name\_f]Amy[/name\_f]. Not gonna lie, it stands out with sisters [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f] just because those are more commonly used and [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] is pretty rare, but it’s not a huge stylistic mismatch or anything. [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] [name\_f]Diana[/name\_f] flows well and is charming. ---

I definitely don’t think it’s too much! It’s a sweet and pretty name with a familiar sound and usable nicknames like [name\_f]Ame[/name\_f], [name\_f]Amy[/name\_f], [name\_f]Mia[/name\_f], [name\_u]Ami[/name\_u], etc. I will say it does stand out next to [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f], both of which are very solidly traditional. The middle works fine! ---

[name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] is a favourite of mine - it’s so bright, friendly and zippy - kind of like [name\_f]Amelie[/name\_f] but less popular. Would I expect it as a sister for [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f]? Probably not. [name\_f]Do[/name\_f] I think it could work? Sure! [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] [name\_f]Diana[/name\_f] is great 🙂 ---

[name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] is gorgeous 🩰 [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] is such a lovely name so underused and underrated despite being so bright, sweet and feminine. [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] has the lovely meaning ‘friendship’ and just signifies harmony which is beautiful. I like the idea of the nickname [name\_f]Amy[/name\_f] I think [name\_f]Amy[/name\_f] is such sweet nickname with a nostalgic vibe. [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] [name\_f]Diana[/name\_f] is truly gorgeous very pretty combination working well with [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] & [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f]. ---

I received nothing but “amityville horror” comments on another baby site! I’m surprised at the difference of comments here- is anyone US and feel positive about it? ---

I think [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] is _so_ gorgeous! Unfortunately, I can’t say I would be brave enough to use it myself, due to the “horror” comments, but it’s a name I definitely admire. It would also stand out with sisters [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] & [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f], but for that isn’t much of a big deal when you truly love a name. [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] [name\_f]Diana[/name\_f] is stunning. ---

I have to admit I had to even Google what that was! ---

I prefer [name\_f]Amoret[/name\_f], [name\_f]Amabel[/name\_f], and [name\_f]Amy[/name\_f]! I think all of those would go better with your girls than [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f]. ---

_The [name\_u]Owl[/name\_u] House_ has really made me love [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f], and I think hearing it more has made it feel more usable to me. It has a very pleasing sound, and I love the idea of nn [name\_u]Mittens[/name\_u] (at least for at home) and Amy’s cute too. I think it has a vintage vibe that fits perfectly with [name\_f]Elise[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Clara[/name\_f]. [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f] [name\_f]Diana[/name\_f] also feels very strong and stylish; a lovely combo! ---

I love [name\_f]Amity[/name\_f], but I’m not from the US. It’s a lovely beach near me so I get summer holiday [name\_u]Island[/name\_u] vibes. It has a beautiful meaning and lovely nicknames. If you love it use it.
