My dd's middle name is Emilie, which is not the common spelling, but a little different (it's the way her grandmother from Germany's name was spelled).



My French Great-Grandmother spelled it this way too!Chat Icon

I would add another 'e' to the end or stick with traditional spelling.

Thanks everyone. I was hoping it was a straight forward Emily. I'm taking it off of the bargaining table. thanks again. I had enough problems with people misspelling my last name growing up as a kid, don't want that for my child.



Then why not just spell it "Emily"?

This. I would say it like tamale but with a hard E at the beginning.
