Re: Torrie/Tori
in reply to a message by queenv
I consider it a serious misspelling, I would rhyme Torrie with "lorry", whereas Tori sounds like TOUR-ee, to rhyme with Cory which is what I think you are aiming for. Torrie sounds more like a nn for Torrence or something similar. Also, I think if the alternative spelling of a nn bothered me so much I probably wouldn't use the name. I love Oliver and whilst I'm not crazy about the nn Ollie, I accept that it will be almost inevitable. I wouldn't mind if it was spelt Ollie or Oli or Olly or whatever, though. If you wanted such a specific spelling maybe you should have given it to her as a fn? Gosh, sorry for such a long post! To sum up, lol, yes I think it is a misspelling as it changes the pronunciation completely for me.
