So you are going to give your daughter a name which your dh thought of because it reminded him of a girl at school?

Ok then....

It is a name DH thought of, he knew a girl at school called it.
Think we will go with Amarae, thanks everyone for you input
Now for the middle name!

Rocky Amadeus

Nope - sounds totally made-up and your poor DD will spend her whole life having to spell it out and explain it to people ("what does it mean? erm, nothing, my parents made it up..." )

Amy, Anna Maria, Amelie - these are all good names, so why try and reinvent the wheel?

How about Amenorrhea?

GossipMonger · 03/04/2009 20:39

sounds made up to me

dont like it

she will spend her life spelling it and it will wind her up

amy
anne-marie

but not what you have chosen

Imagine when she gets cards from people - not one will spell her name right

Be nice to her and give her something else

Northernlurker · 03/04/2009 20:37

Why not Amy. Same meaning, I'd wager

sorry to be ignorant but is it a name you have created because I have never heard of it before? Have only heard of Amara.

If it is an established name , I think I would take the most frequent spelling of it, since it is unusual in itself. If it a new invention so to speak , I think just take the one that looks best to you. They would all be pronounced the same I think.

I don't think I'd go for the spelling "Amerae" though.

do you mean like Amy Ray?

it's awful

Northernlurker · 03/04/2009 20:31

Is it something you've made up then?

I'm not that keen - do you have a meaning or cultural context for it?

Sheeta · 03/04/2009 20:24

Um, Anne-marie?
