Hello to all,

I wonder - how do you spell the name "Emily" in your language ? Do you pronounce it very differently from spelling ?

Emīlija in Latvian Sep 30, 2010

In Latvian, most often it would be adapted to sound like a traditional Latvian name and thus it would written "Emīlija" (pronounced E-mee-li-ya, stress on the first syllable).

Emilija - Serbian Oct 1, 2010

That's typically our version of the French names ending with -ie, e.g. Valerija, Emilija, Eugenija ( turning into -ija suffix).

There are some exceptions, of course.

Other variations that could be present in Serbian are: Emili, Emilia and Ema.

/ 'Eh-mee-lee-ya /

We write it "Emília", the first "I" being the strong one (unlike French). There are the masculine versions of it, "Emílio" and "Emiliano". "Emiliana" would be acceptable, but I've never heard of one.

"Emília" sounds like "é milha" (= "it's mile" - meaningless reference to a mile in length). "Emílio" sounds like "é milho" (= "it's corn", but I've never seen a word play using it).

Emelie or Emily Oct 1, 2010

The most common variant in Swedish seems to be Emelie with the stress on the first syllable.

You also get the variants Emilia, with the stress on the second syllable, and Emily/Emilie with the stress on the first syllable.
