If you heard the name nili(pronounced as Lily, but with N instead of the first L).
How would you spell it?
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you think most people would spell it?
(Nili, Nily, Nilli, Nilly, maybe something else?)

Thanks in advance!

Nilly and Nily seems the most clear to me. (Pronounced nil-ee)

Probably Nilly or Nily, like [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] with an N or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] with an N.

Assuming it’s spelled “neel-ee,” I would lean toward Nilly or Nillie … or even Neallie/Nealey/Neally/Neeley/Neely (I’m thinking “A Tree Grows in [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]”).

Nili would be NEE-lee to me. Nilly would be NIL-ee. I’m not sure which you’re after but I hope this helps!

Nilly or Nillie (like [name_f]Millie[/name_f])

My instinct would be Nilly but I’d probably double check with the person whose name I was spelling to make sure I was spelling it correctly!

I think I’d assume Nillie first, like [name_f]Millie[/name_f], then Nilly, like [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] or [name_f]Tilly[/name_f].

But I think Nili looks rather lovely, and feels simple and intuitive to pronounce.
