We are thinking of naming our daughter "Renie"

How would you pronounce it if you read it?

Ren-ee
Ree-nee
Ruh-nah

Thanks

Yep- like the tablets was my first thought.

Is there a reason you want to spell it that way? What pronunciation are you wanting?

Dizzydrizzy · 12/05/2026 08:57

rennie like the tablets here too.

Babyboomtastic · 12/05/2026 08:57

Like the indigestion tablets.

Why ? Why make it hard? If you want her name pronounced in a certain way then make it evident in the spelling …

It is evident in the spelling. It's Reenee.

Rennie, same as the indigestion tablets.

Me too.

loislovesstewie · 12/05/2026 08:55

If you want Renee then why are you spelling it so oddly? ( can't work out how to do the accent on this phone, but I would have the accent if that's what I meant)

InstantlyBella · 12/05/2026 08:53

Ren-aye

This. The spelling doesn’t make it clear whether it’s ‘Renny’ to rhyme with Benny or Reenee to rhyme with Heaney, or Renée.

Choose a spelling that makes it clear.

Always thought it was Ree-nee as it’s a nickname for Irene. We have a baby Renie in our family named after her granny Irene.

dontmalbeconme · 12/05/2026 08:52

Ren-ie, like the indigestion tablets. But, I might pause and wonder wht anyone would do that to their child, and then think it was a 'younique' way to spell Renée, and pronounce it accordingly. All in all, I'd be a little confused at this choice of name/spelling.

kscarpetta · 12/05/2026 08:50

Probably Rennie but maybe Reenee if it was short for Irenie?

RoseField1 · 12/05/2026 08:49

Don't do that. If you insist on the name spell it with double E at least so it makes logical sense. Reenie. It's a terrible name though.

Have you considered Gaviscon?

rainbowstardrops · 12/05/2026 08:47

Ree nee

Beautifulday01 · 12/05/2026 08:46

I’d say Ree-nee as would assume you didn’t want her to be called Rennie like the tablets.

Stoicandhappy · 12/05/2026 08:45

Gaviscon

PurpleNightingale · 12/05/2026 08:45

Rennie like the tablets.

INeedaDietcoke · 12/05/2026 08:45

Ree-nee like Aladdin's genie.

Ree-nee

ApolloandDaphne · 12/05/2026 08:44

Probably like Rennie - as in Ren-ay. Mostly because Rennie is a common Scottish surname and i would just go with that pronunciation unless i was told otherwise.

SausageRoll2020 · 12/05/2026 08:43

I'd probably pronounce it like Rennie, the digestion tablet.
