Not for me. A friend of a friend has one. Its not just me who thinks its stupid and kre8tive naming gone mad is it?

Awaits people telling me its Irish or something Grin. If its real then I will back down gracefully.

Bucarest hits the nail on the head beautifully.
I heart Bucharest though, she helped me out with a little financial problem.
Has the cash arrived yet Bucharest? It cost me nearly as much to send as the bloody envelope contained.

All it screams to me is superfluous E. It looks frankly ridiculous.

Is it having a go at the phonetic spelling with the "ee" at the start?

Bizarre anyway.

It looks like skeevy. It's amazing what difference an extra E makes

I assumed it was a typo. She will spend her whole life with the majority of people assuming the same and correcting it.

Could it be that she doesn't realise? Probably different, but a friend texted to say they'd decided their DD should be called a name spelt 'unusually' with an 'a'. I texted back saying I thought is was a lovely name, but spelt it in the more normal fashion with an 'i'. She now has an 'i'. Not for a second thinking it was just me, but maybe others had queried the spelling too, and I suspect this friend hadn't realised.

Or it could have been a text error Grin

Tis deliberate. Baby is a number of months old.

It is always writtens sans capital letter on fb too. it looks even worse as eevie tbh.

Reminds me of "eerie" & for people who write loose r's that look more like v's IYSWIM it will look like that too Confused

I think too many people are trying to be original with spellings .etc, just think though - in years to come when a distant relative is tracing their family history they may think it was accidentally spelt wrong!

I'm pretty sure that Caitlin Moran has an Eevie or Eavie. Very odd spelling.

Eevee is a pokemon. Just saying.

You mean there is more than one in the world?

Poor child. Ridiculous way to spell a lovely name.

I think there are not enough Es. Eeeeevieeee would have been better. And given that I am a shouty mother Eeeeeeevieeee would be phonetic.

My DD is Edie and a few people who I don't see often have written her name as Eadie in cards etc. It's ridiculous.
