Help with DD's NN

[chicago]

DD's name will be Evelyn. We are planning to use the pronunciation "EH-vee" as her nn. How would you spell it?

H and I feel like people will instinctually pronounce both "EE-vee".

Awww, I have an aunt Evie (pronounced Eh-vie). Great name!

[ilikedonuts]

IMO either way you spell it a lot of people are going to pronouce it Eve-ee so go with whatever you like better

Yeah I don't think the spelling really matters as the pronunciation can go either way.

Evie

I feel like you'd have to spell it Evvie or something like that to get people to pronounce it Ehv-ee. (Not that you ought to or anything, just that it might clue people in.)

I think Evie looks much better, but I would pronounce either as 'EE-vee.' I think people would learn her name verbally more often anyway, so I don't know how much it matters as a first impression.

I like the look of Evie better, but I'd definitely pronounce it Ee-vee. I'd probably pronounce Evy the same, although there is some chance I might stop to think about it possibly being Eh-vee. But once I heard it, I wouldn't have a problem with either spelling.
