We are thinking of naming our daughter "Renie"

How would you pronounce it if you read it?

Ren-ee
Ree-nee
Ruh-nah

Rennie, same as the indigestion tablets.

I'd probably pronounce it like Rennie, the digestion tablet.

Probably like Rennie - as in Ren-ay. Mostly because Rennie is a common Scottish surname and i would just go with that pronunciation unless i was told otherwise.

Ree-nee

Why ? Why make it hard? If you want her name pronounced in a certain way then make it evident in the spelling …

Ree-nee like Aladdin's genie.

PurpleNightingale · Today 08:45

Rennie like the tablets.

Stoicandhappy · Today 08:45

Gaviscon

Beautifulday01 · Today 08:46

I’d say Ree-nee as would assume you didn’t want her to be called Rennie like the tablets.

Don't do that. If you insist on the name spell it with double E at least so it makes logical sense. Reenie. It's a terrible name though.

Probably Rennie but maybe Reenee if it was short for Irenie?

dontmalbeconme · Today 08:52

Ren-ie, like the indigestion tablets. But, I might pause and wonder wht anyone would do that to their child, and then think it was a 'younique' way to spell Renée, and pronounce it accordingly. All in all, I'd be a little confused at this choice of name/spelling.

Always thought it was Ree-nee as it’s a nickname for Irene. We have a baby Renie in our family named after her granny Irene.

This. The spelling doesn’t make it clear whether it’s ‘Renny’ to rhyme with Benny or Reenee to rhyme with Heaney, or Renée.

Choose a spelling that makes it clear.

Ren-aye
