Baby Names

Girl's Name Spelling

If this baby is a girl, we have decided to name her Emily.  A few weeks ago, I started considering whether we should spell it Emily or Emilie.  Does anyone have any opinions?  DH thinks Emilie is trying too hard.... 

Thanks ladies!!

  • People will automatically spell it Emily, it will be so much easier for everyone to stick with the most common spelling.

  • No apologies necessary!  Thanks for the advice!  I was thinking the same thing - if we did the European spelling, she'd be correcting everyone for the rest of her life.  Glad you all could make me see the light!  ; )

  • As a teacher, it's difficult enough to learn names, nevermind all the diff spellings. Last year I had an Emily who wanted to be "Emmaleigh" and an Emilee. In the same class...ugh.

    Agreed.  It will be easier on you and your DD if you spell it Emily.  Neither of you will have to correct it so much.  Love Emily btw!

    This.  My whole life I've wished my name was spelled Shelley and not Shelly.  Everyone assumes it's Shelley and I'm always having to spell it.

    Wow, that's funny because every Shelly I know spells it Shelly.

  • Yep yep. Go with Emily. It's a beautiful name. :)

  • My biggest pet peeve is when people change traditional spellings to make them "different". So personally I say go for Emily.  Plus if she ever wants to have those key chains and pencils with her name on them you won't find them spelled "Emilie".

  • Emily. It's beautiful and much more classic than Emilie, IMO. 
  • I agree with your DH unless you are French or have some other reason to use that spelling.
