How would you pronounce the baby name Renie?

[TheCleverMember]

We are thinking of naming our daughter "Renie"

How would you pronounce it if you read it?

Ren-ee
Ree-nee
Ruh-nah

Thanks

If you want Renee then why are you spelling it so oddly? ( can't work out how to do the accent on this phone, but I would have the accent if that's what I meant)

Me too.

It is evident in the spelling. It's Reenee.

Like the rennie tablets

Like the indigestion tablets.

rennie like the tablets here too.

Yep- like the tablets was my first thought.

Is there a reason you want to spell it that way? What pronunciation are you wanting?

This

Re-nay.

Reenee. It couldn't be Rennie as it doesn't have a double N.

If that is the pronunciation you want, how about Irenee?

Rule no.1 - never give your child a name you do not know how to pronounce!
Rule No.2 - never give your child a name that no-one else will know how to pronounce either and have to spend your whole time correcting people!

As Ree nee I think it's sometimes a shortening. My aunt of this name was actually called Kathleen.

There's the more often American pronounced Ren nay spelled Rene with an accent

It's not evident because single E doesn't have the same rules as double E.

It's lovely, but I prefer the traditional French pronunciation so we decided against it and named the DTs Calpol and Aspirin.

How do you want it to be pronounced? Spell it that way - Rennie, Reenee or Rene with an accent.

It took me a while, but as with the previous poster, I would think it rhymes with genie

You do everyone a favour if you spell it with a double E though, including the child

But Rene/Renee ( with accents) are French names.

Yes, but very popular in the US

My instinct would say like "Rennie" but would also think that is was wrong, but not quite know what else it could be

Re-nay like the French name

Like genie.

Is it an actual name or a nickname for Irene / Maureen?

I’d think it was the same pronunciation as the indigestion tablets.

Rennie, like the indigestion tablets.

Like the acid tablets - reh-knee

I've come across both REN-ee (one short for Renata, one for Karen) and REE-nee (short for Serena).

I'd probably guess REN-ee, if no clues.
