I don't know how many of you watch America's Next Top Model, but this cycle had two Amy's so one of them had to change her name. She changed it to Amis (pr. "aim-miss"). Wdyt?

Personally, I like how it sounds, but the spelling looks like a typo of Amy... or multiple Amy's. Also, I just did a search on the name, and apparently it's the name of the indigenous people of Taiwan.

I know a girl who pronounces it eh-MAY. I believe she is Romanian.
I know two other Aimee's that pronounce it like Amy.
However, I'm reasonably certain that the girls on ANTM say it like Amy.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense in an English/American setting.

I'm fairly sure Eh-MAY is the French pronunciation, since it's their word for 'loved'.
