Which spelling?

[SeasonallySnowyPeasant]

DH and I are debating different spellings for a (hypothetical) Amy:

• Eighmeigh
• Eiyehmaeh
• Ayeh-Mae

Favourites?

I like the first one because it sounds like my how Brummie cousins would pronounce it.

@SeasonallySnowyPeasant

Yes, this is not for a real child BTW! Just bandying around ideas!

OP totally misses the point...............

I know a Aimee and thought that was different.

Your suggestions - just don’t (if it’s real..)

Aishmeidh

It's how I imagine it could be spelt in Irishish.

What about Anal? Bit more unique, not going to find many kids with the same name

Aiey’mmei

Aymi as perfect - short and to the point, and no worries bout mispronunciation.

@CosyQueen I prefer Anäl.

Aymi sounds a bit northern.

Sorry, that reads as insulting when I was aiming for ironic I have not against the North.

What about Haymee , though I am thinking Anal would be quite unique.

*nowt

Haylee, nn Anäl?

Sorry but I just read the names and couldn't pronounce them

I love all of them, but I do agree that Anal has a bit of pizzazz.

@SoupDragon

LOL at the posters who think this is real 😂😂

A'mee. The apostrophe adds class I think.

Thank goodness for that I really should stop taking people so seriously 😂

You could spell it Goodbyedonaldtrump but pronounce it Amy?

Once you’d explained it once I reckon people would be fine with it

How about these?

Olyviah
Emmerlee
Soafie
Rewbeigh
Jessykah
Alyzabeth
Sharlotte
Ayvah
Ribecka
Lewceigh

Eh!-me??

I'd spell it Elizabeth, but pronounce it more like Amy.

I like anal. Has a ring to it.

Amy?

Eh?me

It is unforgiveably cruel to lumber a child with a name they're going to have to spell every time they tell it to someone who needs to write it down, or tap it into a keyboard. Self indulgent for parents trying to hard to look super-cool. Awful to be that child.

JTA I realise this is for a hypothetical child, but y'know people do this with pets too. Have fun naming paper dolls.... :)

Aighmaigh?

In a 1851 census return my ancestor Amelia was recorded by the enumerator as Mealia.
