I considered posting this in the Writer’s Corner because it is concerning a book character’s name, but figured that since i’m looking for how to spell a name to achieve the pronunciation i’m looking for I decided to post it here.

[name_m]How[/name_m] would you spell the name Uh-marr-iss?

I’ve been considering [name_f]Amaris[/name_f], [name_f]Amarys[/name_f], or Amarris/Amarrys but I don’t really like the look of two ‘r’ 's and i’m not sure about the pronunciation of the first two. From what I could gather from googling them, [name_f]Amaris[/name_f] is pronounced more like [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-muh-riss and [name_f]Amarys[/name_f] is pronounced like Uh-marr-ees but I couldn’t find any definite pronunciations so I figured I would ask here.

Thanks!

[name_f]Amaris[/name_f] I think it has a beautiful clear quality like stars in the night sky

[name_f]Amaris[/name_f] will get you to the sound you want, and if it doesn’t you’ll never know as most people don’t read aloud. :slight_smile:

I think [name_f]Amaris[/name_f] would be the spelling I’d choose.

[name_f]Amaris[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

I prefer the [name_f]Amaris[/name_f] spelling as well. The [name_f]Amarys[/name_f] spelling just makes me think of the word amorous. Not sure why the one letter makes such a difference, but it does.

Either [name_f]Amaris[/name_f] or [name_f]Amarys[/name_f], but I’d be more likely to say the second one uh-[name_f]MAIR[/name_f]-iss.

I definitely believe [name_f]Amaris[/name_f] would be your best shot - it’s the name with the most similar pronunciation to that of which you desire, so I think it would work best.

I love [name_f]Amaris[/name_f]! [name_f]Amarys[/name_f] would be my second choice.
