in reply to a message by Lily

...I always want to stick an "M" at the start of it, and replace the -ie with a "Y".

But it's not supposed to be prn. like Melody-without-the-M. The French prn. is Ay- and I'm guessing based on the information Lily gave, she's most likely prn. it that way. (sorry to speak for you, Lily, if thats not the case)

Did anyone see that episode of Sopranos where there was an Elodie from France? And one of the Italian guys was in love with her and tried to always say her name correctly and everyone else just called her Melody-without-the-M?

hahahaha I actually wouldn't mind if people just called her Melody without the M. I like the English pronunciation as well :P

That's how I say it! I think it's still very pretty :)

Yes :) It's only that the Ay doesn't really sound like and Ay, it's a really long EH sound that is kind of a mixture between an EH and an Ay. I'm really bad at explaining it but you don't open your mouth as much as when you say the Ay in Hayley, for example.

I know, but I'm talking about aesthetics. When I see it, I always think it's Melody.
