Common Mispronunciations of Aimee
Not AY-mee-ee
The double e closes the name on one long ee however many vowel letters the spelling offers, which keeps it to two beats.
Not AY-muh
The ending is a full ee and keeps some weight of its own, which is the trace of the French accent the spelling has dropped.
Tip: Aimee and Amy are the same name by ear. The French original, Aimee with an accent, lands harder on the final beat: ay-MAY.
