Hey ladies,
I think the name Faye is really beautiful, but how do you pronounce it?
And what do you think of it?
Love, Emily

    I pronounce it as "fee"
    My niece is named that
    Such a sweet girl
    And I also think it's a beautiful name, and especially a lovely one

    I'd pronounce it as Fee.
    I know several Fees with the following spellings:
    Fae Fé Fee Fay Faye Fée
    I think Fae is the prettiest spelling.

    I pronounce Faye as Fee.

    But I pronounce Fae as Fai.

    Hi!

    My daughter is called Faye, so it's spelled that way and you're supposed to pronounce it as "Fey". She's actually quite strict about it, because she doesn't like being called "Fee". As she puts it: "If you were going to call me that, you might as well have named me Fee."

    So the "Y" is always pronounced. Just say it however you choose to pronounce it

    By the way, my other daughter is called Emily, and she's also strict about the "i", because most people say "Emely". And that's not very nice either. I find it difficult when people mispronounce my name too.

    Good luck with your search!

    Love

    Fee, you know, just add one more sound after it. So more English pronunciation than plain Dutch "fee".
    I don't really like the name itself. But of course, it's always very personal when asking people for their opinion on a name.

    Thanks for the replies!

    I'd say Fa-je because of the e.
    For me, Fay is fairy.
