Out of these legitimate spellings, which do you prefer?

Not Melodi, but either if the other two are okay!

Melody.
Why make life difficult for yourself / your daughter with an alternative spelling?

villainousbroodmare · 03/02/2018 12:43

Melody. But sorry, not a fan.

RollerSkate77 · 03/02/2018 12:48

Melody. The other two are just made up surely.

Pinkprincess1978 · 03/02/2018 12:49

Melody, having names spelt an alternative way just makes it difficult for your child.

Melodie.

I knew a French woman whose name and spelling was Melodie. I thought it was beautiful

KingPrawnOkay · 03/02/2018 13:07

Melodie or Melody. Not Melodi - I hate this rise in names swapping Y for I just to be ~special~ when it actually looks really silly.

Lucydean22 · 03/02/2018 13:08

Melody, or she spends a lifetime correcting people on spelling her name. Good name btw.

BertrandRussell · 03/02/2018 13:40

Which spelling will most people go for if they don’t know for sure? Go for that one. So- Melody.

SlowlyShrinking · 03/02/2018 13:43

I worked with someone called Melody. People used to think she was saying Melanie when she answered the phone. We used to hear a lot of ‘Melody, like the music’ so if it had been spelt in an unusual way that would have probably been a bit of a pain in the arse for her (and her colleagues)

blueskypink · 03/02/2018 13:46

Melody. Definitely NOT Melodi

RavenWings · 03/02/2018 13:55

Melody. If you spelled it Melodie I'd think you'd have to pronounce it the French way as it's a French word.
