[Opinions] Re: Emeric
in reply to a message by Bear
I really like Emeric. I think I do prefer Emmerich though. I knew of someone, (friend of a friend,) and we pronounced their name as AY-mer-ique, which I love, but I think their name was probably actually Emmerich, as they were German.

Aymericcould be your friend was an Aymeric- that's the only version of the name I've come across in real life, on a 20-something French guy from Grasse. It's not in the database, but I think it's legit, as there's an infant Prince Aymeric of Belgium and 730 000 google hits, same number as Emeric.Aymeric is the version I like best, with Emeric running second- though it looks vaguely medical to me!

Interesting. I suppose the German pronunciation would be closer to an "ay" sound. Thanks for the info.
