Actually, there are 2 Amityville Horror movies. It’s the first thing I thought of
.

And what’s so bad about them? I like Amity Jane! Thanks

Amityville Horror is a movie (and book) based on a true story of a family that moved in to a house and was terrorized by demonic spirits and ghost and stuff. The most recent movie was made in 2005..The book and story has been around since the DeFeo family was murdered in the 70s...

I actually didn’t think of Amityville at all, I thought of Amity as in the name of the town that JAWS is based in.

You asked for opinions, poster, and we are telling you. Do you only want to hear that we love the names? Google Amityville Horror and if you still love the name then go for it...gl

Amity is beautiful! Here are some suggestions:

Amity Jane
Amity June
Amity Rose
Amity Jewel
Amity Leigh
Amity Peyton

Remember she has to live with this name for the rest of her life, until 18 if she changes it.

I don’t see what the big deal is though it’s just a movie. Thanks for the opinions.

thanks

Then you must not have checked out the movie.

Im not trying to be rude. But I’ve never seen either one of the Amityville Horror Movies (and there is supposed to be another one in 2010) I still knew what you where talkin about when you said Amity. Google it. Its not just a movie. The murders happened. The other family (The Lutz) were terrorized and if they werent they where good at lying.

It’s the same reason why people worry about the name Damian.

What’s wrong with Damian?

From the Omen Movies...how old are you anyways?

Amity Rochelle

im not a big fan of Amity Jane though it sounds cute it sounds to me like you have dropped the cal of calamity jane. I do love Amity though it is very beautiful. There is nothing wrong with using amity even if there was a murder surrounding the name. People still use the name Charles and there was Charles Manson aswell as names like Edward (Ed Gein), David (Son of Sam), John (John Wayn Gacy) just because the name has a background thatmay not be know as completely pleasant shouldnt takeaway from the actual name. If you like it thats all that should matter.

That is true, 19th poster. However, those name are not unique like Amity is, that makes a big difference as to how the name is perceived.

Could I suggest Bellamy, which roughly translates to beautiful friend, or Verity, which means truth?

I think both are similar to the sound and feel of Amity and are underused, pretty names.

We actually know a middle aged man named Amity, so I have a hard time imagining it on a little girl.

I do think at least 60-70% of people will immediately think, "Amityville horror."
Some people, of course, won’t even have heard of it.
I think the tough part is not just that it was the name of the town, but that it’s a name that is sort of synonomous with evil-it would be a bit like using Jezebel.

On the other hand, I’d probably use Amity before I used a lot of the names I see on this site-lol!

How about Amy Teagan, nn Amity...it sort of sounds like it if you say it really fast...gl

Verity

personally i like Amity and I would use it.

If you like it, go for it. The name is pretty, even if some people will think Amityville Horror. You will be able to find something wrong with most names, and Amity is very pretty.

Amity Claire

I like Amity Claire - never heard of the movies and there are lots of names with negative associations that are still widely used. Amity is a beautiful name, go with it if you love it
