Ivie or Esmé?

[storyofus]

These spellings.. no alternatives thank you.
What's your favourite please?

Esme is an okay name.

I love Ivy, but would choose Esme over Ivie.

Naming your child after an app for monitoring energy is weird

so I’d pick the other name

Another vote for Esmé because of the wrong spelling of Ivy.

Esmé.

I would be unsure whether Ivie was Ivy or Evie.

Esmé is lovely.

Ivy is also lovely. But you said no to changing the spelling. Is there a particular reason for spelling it Ivie?

Yes why the unusual spelling Ivie OP?

Ivy with traditional spelling, if not Esme

Esmie

Ivie? Lol, no.
Esme is ok.

Esme

Ivy is loads nicer than Esmé.

Esmé is a million times nicer than Ivie

Ezmie Ivie

Eye- vye? Don't be ridiculous

Ivie. Do it. I dare you.

I thought it would pronounced Ee-vee, but I'm sure putting ignoramuses like me straight won't be too much of a problem.

Has to be Esme. Don't condemn a person to a lifetime of "My name's Ivie-spelled IVIE."

And I speak as someone who spent nearly 40 years called "My-name's-Kate-spelled-CAIT" until I gave up.

Esmé.

Esmé because of the wanky Ivy spelling.

Though largely common with just one E, Esmée is actually the 'correct' French, just to complicate things.

Ivie- without your explanation I wouldn't know how you pronounce it (2nd syllable to rhyme with I?) In fact my auto-correct made me have to re-type the word twice so I can imagine a lifetime of receiving annoyingly misspelt emails from autocorrect. Can you explain why that spelling? I love the name Ivy.

Well, it’s better than Ivee or Iveigh. Although every time I type Ivie it autocorrects to live or I’ve so that could be annoying.

(Sorry, cross-post on the auto-correcting!)

If you spell it correctly I would say Ivy.

I think most people will pronounce ivie as Evie or think it's misspelled.
Because of that I would go with Esme or spell Ivy correctly.

It would have to be

Ivy or Esmee

No weird spellings? Why?????
