Amiee
Feminine · “beloved”
One letter has moved and it has changed languages doing it. In Aimée the i belongs to ai, a French digraph spelling a single vowel; in Amiee it has landed on the other side of the m, where it makes ie, an English digraph doing an English job. The letter is the same and the system it belongs to is not.

The story of Amiee
Medieval English records hold a separate name that fed the same result. Amice, or Amicia in its Latin dress, was reasonably common in England after the Conquest and comes from the word for a friend rather than the word for beloved; it survived into the seventeenth century and then disappeared. Amy could descend from either, and the two were being written interchangeably by clerks who had no reason to care. The name that reached the modern age is the merger, which is why the meaning is offered so confidently and rests on so little.

beloved
The French name is generally read this way. A second medieval name lies behind the English form as well, and the two have been mixed for so long that no single reading covers both.

Fashion outlook
Amiee sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
