I was thinking of using it for a new business name. But I'm not so sure now...it seems it may be a confusing name and not so intuitive after all.

Eminy (like Emily).

Wow. I wasn't expecting so many replies. Thanks for the input. Yes it is a Turkish girl's name. It means fearless, courageous. I know that it is supposed to be pronounced "eh minay" but I thought even a western pronunciation of "eh-mean" still sounds pleasant.

EMimee to rhyme with Emily

Soppyspanieleyes · 02/04/2021 22:35

Eminay because I have a Turkish friend with that name who pronounces it like thar. I think it's a lovely name

Like Eminem without the last m, it's Turkish

villamariavintrapp · 02/04/2021 22:33

A bit like Emily. But with an n instead of the l.

Eminay. I knew an Emine who had Turkish-cypriot heritage who pronounced her name this way.

TrobadoraBeatrice · 02/04/2021 22:23

Eh-meen-eh, stress on the first syllable I think. Isn't it a Turkish name?
