If you see Amerie’s name spelled with two Is from now on, that’s not a typo. The “1 Thing” singer has officially changed the spelling of her name.
The Grammy-nominated artist, who now goes by Ameriie, added an I to her name to reflect positive energy. She announced the change to Rap-Up.com last month, but didn’t go public with it until her new Twitter page (@ItsAmeriie) was set up.
Ameriie has been in the studio working on the follow-up to last year’s In Love & War called Cymatika Vol. 1 (note the new spelling), named after the study of visible sound and vibration. “I’m still in the studio right now, so the best thing I can say is it’s a very international, worldly sound,” she told Rap-Up TV.
In addition to changing her name, Ameriie has also become engaged to her longtime manager Lenny Nicholson. The couple is planning to wed in 2011.
She was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2005 in Best Contemporary R&B Album and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Touch and "1 Thing," respectively.
And adding another "i" is changing your name? If anything, it's a stylistic change.
when I first clicked on the article I thought she was actually changing her name, so I thought maybe with a new name, a lil change in her sound, maybe she can kick off a successful career, but adding an I really
Some people do stuff like that because they believe in "Healing" and that ****... They also believe that some people have a "bad" name and they keep getting bad luck unless they change it, and etc.
