Aimee or Amy?

[Bugo]

How would you spell it?

@pencilsontheceiling

Aimee more to it than amy which is a bit bland.

Playing devils advocate... does it make that much difference seeing as names are spoken more often than written?

Then again, we're on a thread to debate the spelling, so...

Amy.

Amy

Amy.

I also know an Ammee 😂

Are we quorate (obviously OP's choice )

Amy

My name is yooneekly spelled (because it is a shortening) and it causes problems.

Aimee's nice but I would go with Amy as that's the way I think most people would spell it as it's the traditional spelling

Aimee😆Sorry

Amy. I actually know someone who spells it Amie 😂

Amy

Amy, if you want the usual pronunciation. I'd want to pronounce the other version "Emmay" like in French.

I know and Amie.

But yeah Amy

Amy

@BewareTheBeardedDragon

The thing is, Aimée in French is pronounced completely differently to Amy in English, so unless you're going to use the French pronunciation then the French spelling would be a bit silly, IMO.

This^

I like Aimée, it means "loved" but I knew one (with the acute) who pronounced it Amy, which is silly.

Amy. No contest.

Amy

Amy.

Amy. But I'm biased as I am one

I know several Aimees, an Amie, and an Aimie (bleh) - I think mine is the superior spelling for the UK though

Amy. I love it. Reminds me of little women.

Amy

Amy.

Amy.

Amy

I'm an Amy and never get asked how to spell my name. I can only assume and other variation just gets spelt incorrectly

My granny spells my name Emy but I think she's just contrary like that!

So obviously I vote Amy .

The pronunciation thing is true, but it's hardly like Aimee is an unknown, is it? It's a standard way of spelling the name, has been for donkeys, no one is going to ponce about trying to pronounce it as a French word. And OP didn't include the accent either.

I prefer Aimée pronounced correctly. But that’s not what OP meant.
