[Opinions] Emily... or Emilie?
Replies
I love both. It depends on the region and the last name. I do prefer Émilie WITH the accent aigu :D
I'm used to Emily and I suppose Emilie would work with a French surname. I went to school with a girl named Emilie. Overall, I suppose I prefer Emily although despite having a niece with the name, I just don't find it to be very exciting. WDYT of Emilia? It's a little more different and she'd have other nn options.
Since you ask which spelling, I'm guessing you pronounce Emily and Emilie the same way. In my brain, Emilie is *supposed* to be "e-MEE-lee-ə", but I'm never sure which is meant when I see it. If I wanted the "EM-ə-lee" pronunciation to be clear to everyone who reads the name, I'd use Emily, but my guess is that most English speakers on the street would pronounce them the same way.
I like Emily better. But I'm not a huge fan of the name regardless. It just seems like the more common spelling would be less confusing.
I like Emily best. Th "y" below the line is more interesting, I think.
