[Opinions] Imanie
A recent favourite of mine: Imanie for a girl. I'm sure the pronunciation is IM-a-nee, although I haven't heard it said aloud. I first came across it in Oxford's dictionary of names (not an entry in its own right, but mentioned as a variant of the medieval name Emeny: I liked Emeny but went off it when I kept accidentally saying "enemy" instead :-/). Imanie is also mentioned in the medieval names page ...
http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?IsmenaI like that fact that it's a name with a history, yet almost totally unheard of ... and yet doesn't sound strange at all. So, WDYT?PS ... Oxford also mentions the form Emonie. I think it's probably the most attractive spelling ... Do you this one better / as much? Does it still sound like "enemy"?
