Not an -i, and not an -ey. And I mostly prefer -y to -ie except with names like Maggie. Funny how Maggie needs an -ie but Peggy doesn't. Margy looks unnatural, but Margie is fine. I was at school with a Sallie, and that looked wrong too. Maybe it's just what I'm used to that looks good.

Thinking about Johnnie Walker Scotch and the poet Rabbie Burns, I wonder if an -ie spelling is or was typically Scottish.
