[Facts] Re: Lovelie pronunciation
in reply to a message by Gaia
You can't say that. There were 70 American girls named Lovely in 2020; I didn't check 2021. And even if Lovely weren't being used, parents could still decide to use the word "lovely" for their child's name but change the spelling to Lovelie.

I didn’t exactly mean like anymore as in not at all, I’m saying Lovely isn’t anymore popular than Lovelie or Lovélié to be used as a given name. Yes, people with the intent to spell Lovely as Lovelie can do so, but it’s not exactly a creative spelling. Chris Brown gave the name to his daughter this year, so we know it’s in use. But Lovelie can have a few different pronunciations and obviously, can just be said as Lovely.
