Jeimy (it's spanish) would it be like Jamie in spanish hi-may or something different? We are interviewing an au pair tomorrow and would like to know how to pronounce her name :)

    I would start out pronouncing it like Jamie in English and see if she corrects you... It could be "HYE-mee," but I doubt the Y would make the "ay" sound, even in Spanish. Better default to English, IMO.

    Just ask her. Apologize and then ask how it's pronounced.

    Please keep in mind this is a made up name, influenced by American culture.

    Only way to go about it.

    There is no guarantee it's 'made up'.

    When I googled it quite a few popped up so I don't think it's made up. However, that is neither here nor there, I just want to say her name correctly. I think I'll just ask. We get asked how to pronounce Graeme quite a bit and I'm never offended.

    I would ask to avoid embarrassment. 

    Note to all (future) parents: pick a name others can pronounce, this is one of my big pet peeves.
