Which Spelling? Harmony or Harmonie

[cowboylover]

Currently on the top of the shortlist but which spelling to go for?

Thanks

er. not harmonie. it's a made up word and i would assume you couldn't spell.

sorry.

that said, if you live where i do (in real cowboy country) for some reason it is culturally de-rigeur to make up spellings for baby names, and if your child has a name that anyone anywhere has spelled that way before, you're judged for not being very imaginative.

so, it's about context. i'd think you couldn't spell, but the red necks locals wouldn't bat an eyelid.

I would go with Harmony.

It would cut out the need to spell it out to people all the time

Harmony

Its not made up its the German spelling which is where we first heard it but I can see why people would think so.

Thanks deciduousblonde: My name has an unusual spelling and it does get annoying sometimes.

Read the thread title quickly and read Harmonie as Hermione - it might just be me but it could get mistaken for that?

Def Harmony anyway IMO.

I know at least two Harmonies. Both grown up. Lovely name.

Sorry, don't like either. What if she's tone deaf?!

Harmonie looks more like a name. Harmony looks more like a word. Does that make sense?

Harmony for me, Harmonie is too easily confused with Hermione x

cece Thats totally my thinking as well but maybe just us!

12 weeks to decide and I cant wait!

"Harmonie" is not made up, but German.

Will you be living in Germany?

Eintracht is another German word for harmony.

I think it sounds like an anti-depressant no matter what way you spell it.
