yeah, I totally know it's may tie, but I still say my tie. Not that it's a word I say outloud too often, or anything.

well I thought it was my- tie up until the lady I got it from told me it's may tie and I figured she would know. So since I was wearing my baby in one and talking about it I called it may tie and some people thought I had it wrong! good to know.

It's may-tie, but I call it My tie, to my DH, as in, this is MY tie. when he uses it, I call it "your tie"

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I have learned that it's "may tie" but to me it'll always be "my tie." Also, my DD's name ends in LEI, and has a long I sound "lorelei"... so it just makes it even more difficult to call it a may tie.

I didn't know that! I thought you did pronounce it like the drink! How come it's different?

I pronounce is May-Tie out loud (because I know it's correct), but I still read it as My-Tie

Well that makes sense. I never even noticed they were spelled different (guess I don't drink enough )
