Hemmin
Which spelling is the easiest to you to pronounce my name as /he-min/?
Hello, nice to meet you guys! First question in this site.
I'm from Korea and my name is Hyemin, pronounced as /he-min/. But most of guys in US cannot catch the pronunciation soon. They pronounce it as /hai-min/ or /hei-min/ mostly. I don't want to make them confused and to correct their pronunciation any more either. So I am looking for another spelling for my name.
Here are some spellings I am thinking about:
Hemmin / Hemin / Haemin / Heamin
Which spelling is the easiest to you to pronounce it as /he-min/? Or I'd very appreciate it if you can recommend another spelling for this pronunciation.
Thank you!I have to add that /e/ of /he-min/ is a short /e/!

I can appreciate your frustration. It must be very annoying to have people mispronouncing your name. Might it help if you spelt it 'Hee Min'?

Is it a long e (like the e in eat) or short e (like the e in wet) sound?
If a long e, then Heemin would work, if a short e, then Hemin

Maybe i think Hemin is ok
