One of my characters is named Evelyn, and I’ve been calling her Evie, I’ve sort of realized that I want to her nickname to be pronounced Eh-vee though, and I think Evie would be pronounced Ee-vee by most people. So idk does anyone know a different spelling that would be more obviously pronounced that way? Does Evvy or Evy get the idea across better?
I think the 2v's gets the point across better. Or another way you could do it would be to leave the spelling as the original and Evelyn could correct someone in the story. Have someone pronounce it with the ee sound, and her tell them that's wrong. It would kind of feel like a correct the reader moment too lol
Like the krum Her-my-oh-nee incident in goblet of fire. Thanks this was really helpful :)
I was thinking of the Lev-ee-OH-sa, not lev-ee-oh-SAH when I wrote this. 😂
lol Harry Potter for the win. Solves all problems.
