How should I spell the name...

Rami

Ramie

Ramey

Sounds like Jamie...Ray ME.. not RAM ME

I think you would have the least amount of pronunciation issues with the last one, Ramey, although you may still get people saying "Ram me." What about Raimey/Raemi/Raymi?

Raimey.

Raimey.

I think I like this the best.?

If you want it to sounds like Jamie with an R, spell it like Jamie with an R. I knew someone named 'Rami'. His name was pronounced 'Raw-Me".

Hmmm I'd say Ramey (but not sure if everyone would pronounce it correctly).

Raymi, Raymie- the "y" doesnt look as nice as "ai" but you'll avoid the ram-mees

Ramie-people are familiar with Jamie, so it's easy to avoid mispronuciation. or Raimey--again, it just looks right, no "Rah-mee" or "Ram me".

I would not do Rami--I really don't like ending most names in an "i" if it can be reasonably avoided.

raimie i suppose, even though that wasn't one of your options. i think your options all look like ram-mee not ray-mee.

Me too, but I don't like Raimie. I think if I saw Ramey I'd pronounce it the way you want.

If it's French (and a boy's name), I believe it is spelled "Remi". I can't see any other pronounciation besides the one you're going for coming from this spelling.

Ree-me or Reh-me would be my first two guesses with that spelling.

Of your choices, Ramey, which is a last name that's been around a long time spelled that way, and I don't think is going to be mispronounced. I'd also consider Remy, which is the original French spelling. This is a family last name on my dad's side. They were Remy, and then they changed it to Ramey, but more than a hundred years ago.
