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

How would you pronounce it if you read it?
Ren-ee
Ree-nee
Ruh-nah

Who would get "Ruh-nah" from "Renie"?

My first thought was "Rennie" like the tablets, but "Ree-nee" might be more correct.
However, a lot of people are seeing it as "Rennie", at least at first.

Ree-nee. Why don’t you christen her Irene and call her Renie so she has the choice?

Rennie. As in the tablet. The only Ree- nees I’ve known had it as a nickname and were Irene

I'd pronounce it 'How do you say your name? Is it REE-ny or RENNy?'

and secretly judge the parents

There's nothing in the spelling to suggest Renn-AY or Run-AY.

I would say it Reeny, as in short for Irene, which I think is lovely- but I'd have to think about it, and I'd expect it to be mistaken for Renee a lot! That isn't that big a deal though necessarily. My child has a name that's straightforward but often said wrong just because it's a bit unusual. I don't regret giving it to her and she doesn't mind.

Ree-nee

Renny

But I can see how it could be Ree-nee - rhymes with genie.

I don’t see why anyone would pronounce it Renee
or Ruh-nah.

You could go with Eirini/Irene and shorten it?

Both significantly nicer names than Renie

I’d pronounce it like the medication.

The Four Tops song is Don't walk away, Renee, pronounced Re-nay, and I've seen that spelt the same Renée.

How it's pronounced in a song isn't the best guide to how to say it.
(Fleetwood Mac's Sara being an example)

Rennie.

rennie Like the indigestion tablets. Please don’t do that to her!

Reenee as it’s spelt like ‘genie’ and not like ‘rennie’. I’d assume it was short for Irene.

Yes, my gran was a Renie (pronounced Ree-ney) rather than Irene.

Reeny.

Half the women on our street when I was little seemed to be called this.

Re-nay, but I'm not sure why. It looks like Renee but the parent is trying to be posh.

Reenie

Same

Renny or Ree-Knee, as in short for Catherine or Irene.

I can't work out what you are wanting op. It seems to be "Runner" which isn't a name I know of ...

The "nie" definitely does not produce the sound of a French acute.

Ree-neh (northern accent).

I feel really old, four pages in and nobody has mentioned allo allo!

Ree-nee.

Rennie like the tablets. Don’t do it.
