How would you pronounce Navie ?

[Bunnybigears]

So how would you pronounce Navie?

Navy

I’ve never heard it before but my instinct would be Navvy.

Like the colour.

Personally like Nay-vee.

Navvy

(As in the colour)

Navy. Although I did have to read it twice as I wasn’t sure if it was ‘naive’.

Nah-vee

Nahvey

Navy

Navy. As in Army and RAF.

Navvy.

I thought this was a thread asking how to spell naive too.

Nav-ee like the workmen who built the canals, railways etc

Nay-vee but makes me think of naive ny-eve

Na-vee. But don't do it!

Navvy, like a canal worker.

I’ve not heard the name before though, how is it supposed to be pronounced?

@Fyredraca

Nav-ee like the workmen who built the canals, railways etc

This.

Navvy as in "Swear like a navvy".

Na-vee. But don't do it!

Thats how I would have thought it was pronounced as well, dont worry its not for me a friend has had a baby and I was going to call but didn't want to offend my pronouncing it wrong. Although mumsnet seem split so I may have to just bite the bullet and ask rather than risk it and get it wrong.

I’d guess at it rhyming with savvy, but that’s not a very pretty sound so maybe it is like navy the colour.

Na-Vee - is that not another name for the toilet?

God knows. You've just made up the name, who are we to tell you how to pronounce it?

Navvy.

It is not a name she has chosen. It is the name of a friend's baby

Blimey 😟 Poor child! Is it a girl or boy?
