Help[Opinions] But Aimée isn't pronounced AY-mee!
in reply to a message by AmberJ
It's properly pronounced eh-meh (the Anglo versions of this is e-MAY, which I say). Aimée pronounced AY-mee is just a kre8iv spelling of Amy. I dislike it because it's an old pet peeve of mine: it looks ignorant of the name's origin. For this reason, I much prefer Amy to Aimée if you're pronouncing the name AY-mee.
Aimée Renée itself is horribly rhymey to me in their proper (albeit somewhat Anglicised) pronunciations: e-MAY re-NAY? AY-mee re-NAY isn't so bad though.
Jamie I prefer on a boy, but I can tolerate it fine on a girl. Brianna's trendy and the N looks superfluous and tacky to me; Briana looks much more substantial and less "little girly" to me. Jamie Briana flows well to me.
And as for your question: AY-mee and JAY-mee is just too rhymey and cutesy for siblings. Sorry.
Oh, and I apologise if I seem harsh, especially on the AY-mee versus e-MAY issue. It's just one of my biggest pet peeves regarding naming. As for the other things, I just told you how I honestly felt. :-)
