Is it? I thought it was the French spelling.  Half of the ones I know spell it Aimee.

I don't know why everyone likes to add y's to names that don't need them and take the y's out of names that do.

I would definitely go with Amy!

ETA: I guess Aimee is of French and Latin origin, but I'd still go with Amy.

You are correct. It is the French spelling.

I don't want to name a child this name. I just wanted to know which spelling you prefer.

I saw this:

Origin of the name Amy:

Derived from the Middle English Amye, which is from the Old French Aimee (beloved), a name derived from the verb aimer (to love).

I prefer Amy, but if you are French then I think the French spelling is appropriate.

I like Aimee better because it's less common and still a totally legit spelling!!

No it's not....it's the traditional French spelling.

No - it's the French spelling. I was born in 1975 and grew up with a lot of girls named Amy but only knew one Aimee, and that's the spelling I prefer.

This. Amy is actually the Americanized bastard of Aimee.

I think they're both good.  I voted for Aimee because I grew up with an Aimee, and she was really smart, pretty, and nice, and I always thought of her name as different from all the Amys I knew, even though it sounds the same.  If I were naming my daughter this, I'd go with Aimee.  Actually, I might go with Amelia and shorten it to Aimee because I like Amelia too.
