Not for me. A friend of a friend has one. Its not just me who thinks its stupid and kre8tive naming gone mad is it?

Awaits people telling me its Irish or something Grin. If its real then I will back down gracefully.

It's not Irish.
It's Illiteratish.

Bucarest hits the nail on the head beautifully.
I heart Bucharest though, she helped me out with a little financial problem.
Has the cash arrived yet Bucharest? It cost me nearly as much to send as the bloody envelope contained.

Phew.

All it screams to me is superfluous E. It looks frankly ridiculous.

Agree with Bucharest.

It looks daft. Poor child.

Blimey Kreech, no, not yet.(but post here is like fake tan supplies near the Middleton's home at the mo- a Next order I placed 5 weeks ago finally showed this morning.
Next time, you can just buy me a virtual drink somewhere!

MamaLazarou · 03/05/2011 12:59

It is very silly indeed. Can you talk her out of it?

suwoo · 03/05/2011 13:05

I don't know her. Thats why I can be a bitch. Wink

Is it having a go at the phonetic spelling with the "ee" at the start?

Bizarre anyway.

moogalicious · 03/05/2011 13:11

not as bad as evvie - at least eevie is phonetic

BellaBearisWideAwake · 03/05/2011 13:17

It looks like skeevy. It's amazing what difference an extra E makes

GooseyLoosey · 03/05/2011 13:21

I assumed it was a typo. She will spend her whole life with the majority of people assuming the same and correcting it.

ajandjjmum · 03/05/2011 13:22

Could it be that she doesn't realise? Probably different, but a friend texted to say they'd decided their DD should be called a name spelt 'unusually' with an 'a'. I texted back saying I thought is was a lovely name, but spelt it in the more normal fashion with an 'i'. She now has an 'i'. Not for a second thinking it was just me, but maybe others had queried the spelling too, and I suspect this friend hadn't realised.

Or it could have been a text error Grin

suwoo · 03/05/2011 13:25

Tis deliberate. Baby is a number of months old.

It is always writtens sans capital letter on fb too. it looks even worse as eevie tbh.

OP posts:
suwoo · 03/05/2011 13:26

Check me out deliberately missing out the capital I to demonstrate my point. Wink

Reminds me of Eeyore.

suwoo · 03/05/2011 13:59

Ha ha. It reminds me of weevil or evil.

WiiUnfit · 03/05/2011 18:46

Reminds me of "eerie" & for people who write loose r's that look more like v's IYSWIM it will look like that too Confused

I think too many people are trying to be original with spellings .etc, just think though - in years to come when a distant relative is tracing their family history they may think it was accidentally spelt wrong!

bananamom · 03/05/2011 18:52

I'm pretty sure that Caitlin Moran has an Eevie or Eavie. Very odd spelling.

AvengingGerbil · 03/05/2011 18:53

Eevee is a pokemon. Just saying.

lurkerspeaks · 03/05/2011 22:23

You mean there is more than one in the world?

Poor child. Ridiculous way to spell a lovely name.

RancerDoo · 03/05/2011 23:06

I think there are not enough Es. Eeeeevieeee would have been better. And given that I am a shouty mother Eeeeeeevieeee would be phonetic.

Wafflepuss · 03/05/2011 23:11

Not only is eevee a poke on but its only fight move is running away. Rubbish.

My DD is Edie and a few people who I don't see often have written her name as Eadie in cards etc. It's ridiculous.
