Eileen
We're expecting our daughter in July and what do you think of the name Limée / Lymée? We'd like to have two names since our son also has two. We're considering Jolie as the second name. (Pronounced in French, Zjoolie) but we also like Ailéen. My own second name is Eileen pronounced in English, so I'm not sure if that would be nice. What do you think looks good? Other suggestions for the second name are also welcome
Limée or Lymée (pronunciation Liemeej)
And as a second name Aileen (pronunciation Eilien) or Jolie (pronunciation Zjoolie)

    How do you pronounce the first name? I say "Lijmie" reminds me of Lyme disease but I'm probably wrong.

    Liemeej is the pronunciation. If you say it like that, it's true that you might think of that. The spelling might come close to it soon, but luckily the pronunciation is different, hehe.
    Lymée is still the most common spelling.

    For me, Lymée sounds a bit French, and Jolie does too... while Aileen sounds more English, like Eileen... so I'd go with Jolie! I also think it's a lovely name, by the way!

    Thanks for your reply. Indeed, that was also my first instinct. But not pronounced as "Djolie" but really in French as "Zjolie".
