Auntie or Aunty

[annabannan]

Ordering a personalised gift and not sure which spelling I should use. What's your opinion?

I'm an Auntie. Although my niece wrote my birthday card to 'Arnty'

I have had a lot of aunties, and great aunties. They are all Aunty X.

This is how I learnt it too:
Aunties- plural
Aunty- singular

I'm an 'Aunty' when I send cards/gifts because it looks better with my forename ending in 'y'.

But almost everything I receive from the niblings says 'Auntie'.

Auntie

Auntie always looks right to me where as I think Aunty looks odd

I prefer Auntie.

But I have four nephews/nieces, and they have always just called me by my first name. Which is fine by me.

Aunty

Although it's much easier buying greeting cards with Auntie.

Auntie

Always Auntie in this family.,

Auntie

The more posts I read on this thread the weirder the word looks either way!

I’m Aunty to my sister’s children and Auntie to everyone else I’m an aunt to.

I’ve literally never seen Aunty and if I did I’d have assumed it was wrong!! Every day’s a school day here!

Aunty

Aunties

Aunty. I was brought up with our family (English/Australian) has always using that spelling and I still prefer it, even if just on the aesthetics of the 'y' looking a 'tidier' finish than 'ie'.

I have never even heard of aunty!

I'd leave off the Auntie/Aunty and just use the person's name.

Auntie

Auntie

Auntie

Nope because Auntie Jean is Auntie Jean not Jean? Weirdo 😂

And it's Auntie!

Definitely Auntie!!

I prefer Auntie

I always use Aunty.

I’ve always used auntie, but my sil always writes aunty.
