To keep it short and simple, I am heavily conflicted with the name
Amalie. The character I’m writing is based off of a person I know IRL, I did poll and for a 18 year-old girl who’s a writer, paints, takes photographs, plays guitar, the name
Amalie Griffard won. I’m not sure how
Amalie is pronounced though. Whenever I look it up I get like 100 different results. I keep hearing like
Emily with an A, exactly like
Amalia, the European way, or something else. I had ah-MAH-lee in mind. How do you pronounce
Amalie?
