Seen a name Aelie, how would this be pronounced? I was thinking a-ley?

I think it's pretty although mum has just it sounds like I'm dropping the H of Hayley.

What are your thoughts.

The Eilidh spelling is much nicer, although it might be difficult for some people to pronounce (in England).

Spanielpuppy · 30/07/2014 16:35

Sophronia with that spelling I can see that too

It reminds me of 'alien', I'm not keen.

It's my dds name and it's beautiful. I spell it eilidh Smile

Agree with previous poster - it's spelled Eilidh. Lovely name, but also the name of the horrible girl who bullied me for three years at school so I'd advise against it Grin

I'd assume the person had wanted to call their child Eilidh but didn't know how to spell it.

myotherusernameisbetter · 30/07/2014 15:53

is it an anglisied version of Eilidh? That is a gaelic name pronounced very similarly

Saying it out loud it does sound like you talk a bit sarrf Landon and are trying to say Hayley.

I agree with your mum.
