Kathryn Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Whenever I see a name that would usually end in -ey or -y spelled with -ee, my brain wants to put the stress on that syllable. For example, instead of ASH-ley, my brain says ash-LEE. Is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If we had spelled DD1's name with -ee on the end, it would have been an anagram for our last name. We didn't think of it in time. I'm not sure we would have done it if we had thought of it. I don't pronoun names that end in ee differently, so that wouldn't have been a consideration.

Tsuga Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yes, it's just you. Joking of course. But no, I personally read i, ie, y, ey, and ee the same at the end of names like Haili, Hailie, Hailee, Hayley, and Hayly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Well I know an Aimee and it's pronounced just like Amy? Never bothered me before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I know a Malloree and a Carlee pronounced like Mallory and Carly. They have -ee endings because they are spelled that way to honor their grandfather Lee. I never thought about pronouncing their names any other way.

kewb Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Now that you said it I can't help but want to pronounce the name that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
