How should I spell the name...

Rami

Ramie

Ramey

 

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

 

Re: How should I spell the name...

  • 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.
  • i would go with  - Ramie
  • For a boy or girl?  I have never heard of this as a first name.
