Joyofsixreboot Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If you like it use it. I used traditional spellings and people still don't spell their names " right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
april0421 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My dd's name is Julianna. We call her Juli for short and spell it without the e. In our case,I figured, why add a letter that wasn't there. People that know her by hearing her name as "Juli" often spell it with the e and she or I correct them, however, when people see it spelled before hearing it, there has never been a problem with pronunciation. Good luck deciding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tita Gidge Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My gut is to pronounce it Yoo-li because of family context and background, but I'd assume it was Julie since that's most common. I hadn't thought of "July" until I saw it posted here, and immediately thought Oh, it must be July and I just thought it was Julie because of my relative Julie (Yoo-lee) who is always assumed to be Julie (Joo-lee) - just my frame of reference. Once I saw it as July, I began to see how that could become a potential common error - especially depending on where you live. I'm in an area that has Gus (August), Toby (October) and names like Liberty, Justice, and other noun-names as relatively common names, so July wouldn't be too far of a stretch here. April, May and June aren't such common names anymore, but going in that direction with July wouldn't be unheard of. Are you wanting a name that's four letter first ending with "i" followed by a three-letter middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Are you wanting a name that's four letter first ending with "i" followed by a three-letter middle? Four letter name ending with "I" with the middle name Ann is what I'm looking for. The boy is decided at Sevien Jay or Marshall Jay (if dh don't quit the Eminem thing) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why?? IMHO Julie and Cali don't go together as well as Juli and Cali. A friend of mine has her name ending in -ee to match a bunch of her relatives. It's a name that is typically spelled -ie but that would look funny when written next to all her relatives.

MomtoCandJ Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks Crimson :) besides we are liking Cali Sue and Juli Ann, they look so well together :) now I'm not sure about Cali Sue and Sevien Jay but that's what we got :) (Marshall Jay got vetoed, Cali didn't like it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My husband had two dogs growing up: "Six" and "Seven." They were gun dogs. Chances are good that I would not give a dog the name Seven, much less a human. What bugs me 100% about kre8tiv spellings or made-up names is when the parent is all indignant and annoyed that people are not mind-readers and can't make sense of/pronounce/spell the child's name. When they huff, hands on hips, "Why doesn't anyone spell Keightlynne's name right???" Well...duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Another thought... Her initials are going to be JAM. That would bug me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 My inials are MAM, maiden was MAB, JAM doesn't bother me but DAM would :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 If they mess up the spelling it's fine, my first name has been massacred in every way imaginable due to family members with horrible spelling. It still gets massacred by my aunt (and I'm 30) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymomofboys Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 We are thinking of the name Juli (Julie) for a girl. If you seen Juli how would you pronounce it? Dd's name is Cali :) oh and middle name would be Ann. I would pronounce it JOO-lee. I think the name is adorable. I grew up being called "Andi with an i".

Tita Gidge Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Four letter name ending with "I" with the middle name Ann is what I'm looking for. The boy is decided at Sevien Jay or Marshall Jay (if dh don't quit the Eminem thing) :) I'm glad to see the use of Jay - great name, highly underused IMO :) The Eminem thing cracks me up. My friend didn't realize until her son was four years old that her husband got the name (Logan) from Wolverine. At least you're more pop culture saavy than she was! So in the realm of Juli Ann ... what about Jodi Ann or Jaci Ann? Other considerations (that you've probably exhausted already, I'm sure) that seem pretty clear-cut on pronounciations, at least IMO/IME: Keri Ann Rubi Ann Codi Ann Lexi Ann Cori/Kori Ann Dani Ann Rori Ann Geri/Jeri Ann Teri Ann Gigi Ann (I have one little nephew who calls me Gigi, and I love it!) Laci Ann Lori Ann Leni Ann Niki Ann Suzi Ann Toni Ann Tori Ann Mari Ann Vivi Ann <-- there's a girl on Dance Moms (don't judge!) and it's grown on me nicely Maci Ann Jodi Ann Loni Ann Cami Ann Levi Ann Kaci Ann Roni Ann Some that might be mispronounced, but fit the bill: Kati Ann (Katie versus Catty Lani Ann (lah-nee versus lan-ee) Tabi Ann (Tabby versus Tah-bee) You didn't ask, and I'm sure by now you've exhausted them all (and then some). But thought I'd throw out some names. When we went through naming my daughter, the first after several boys, we over-thought the entire thing in our eagerness to not have to come up with another boy name LOL. And names I once hated began to sound good, and ones I liked I came to like less. Good luck finding that perfect name :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Oh please no d names initials would be DAM :) dmil and dm like Juli and Sevien so we will go with those (although I'm sure my mom will masacure them both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Jay was the middle name of my grandpa, daddy, youngest brother and nephew and my mom's fiancé's first name :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
