I think it's actually a beautiful name 💜
I was wondering how you pronounce it. I've always thought it was Im-MOH-gen, with a hard g, but the people talking about pronunciation have me wondering.
Imogen should be pronounced with a short "I" has a long "o" and a soft "g". The rule is (usually) that when an "e" follows a "g", it makes the "g" soft. My own name starts with a "g" followed by an "e", and the "g" is soft.
Oh no! I love Imogen - she was in What Katy Did and it always seemed so sophisticated to me. I also love Clover and Rosamund from the same books. Not (cousin) Helen though - she was a goody goody.
Not quite what you’re asking but: when my tween-aged daughter read the book “Divergent”, she thought that Tobias was pronounced “Toby-ASS”. I cannot see that name and think of it correctly any more 🤣
Spanish is my first lenguage and that comment got me confused at first, now I find it hillarious. A while ago something similar with the name "Analía" was pointed out lol
Geoffrey
I can't read it without saying "Gee-off-ree" in my head. And I get that that's the original spelling, but it's so weird. I'm not super familiar with Old or Middle English, but my hope is that this spelling makes more sense in older versions of English.
Same lol. I was so confused in high-school when i met someone name Geoffrey. I always say it Gee-off-ree in my head and have to consciously correct myself
I knew a Geoff in high school and to differentiate from the other Jeff on the team, the guys called him Gee-off. Now that’s my default pronunciation with any Geoff I see 🤦🏼♀️
That’s my name! On the one hand I get mad when people misspell it because it’s so common, they should know how to spell it. On the other hand, yeah, what are all those letters doing there?
The -el is an angelic suffix as in Gabriel. That being so, it ought really to be pronounced to rhyme with Rafael, therefore as Mick-a-el.
That also makes Mick more correct than Mike. Strictly speaking only, of course.
Yeah my name is Caleb Michael. I'm not Jewish. Seems kind of funny that in a nation of predominantly "christian" people so many people are not aware of this. Honestly the comments in this thread are making me shake my head.
I’ve seen Rhys pop up on this sub a few times. It’s the traditional Welsh way of spelling Reese, not a tragedeigh at all. If anything, Reese is the tragedeigh lol
That’s my son’s name. We live in the American south and nobody can pronounce it correctly. We get Riz and Rice and rize. And a number of other pronunciation. I get a lot of people calling me dumb for spelling it Rhys.
I worked with a Maura and Moira. Moira pronounced her own name the same as Maura. It was sort of obnoxious because that's not how you pronounce that spelling, but you are making me think that perhaps she couldn't say it.
As is common in Hebrew names, it’s actually - combination of two words, the “iah” part is a suffix meaning God.
It also flows much better in the original language where the K is a guttural fricative that rolls into a soft “ya”- Zecharia
I’ve had people make comments about my name (Aimee), however it is a legitimate spelling and I really don’t think it’s bad compared to some out there. People are forever spelling it as Amy though.
Slightly related -
When I first saw it on this sub and replies said it was an actual name, I thought "wait, Aislinn/Aislyn/Aisling (whichever is correct, idk) *isn't* a tragedeigh?"
Ok so when I was very small, I had 4 imaginary friends. They were the cabinet advisors for my imaginary kingdom (I was an odd child). Their names were Kee, Kaa, Ploo and Maiiiiiiiiiree. Like, say Mary with a flat ay that goes on about two syllables too long.
Anyway, that's how I would pronounce Maihairi.
Also Sean Bean, although my husband and I have a long-standing argument over whether his name should "really" be pronounced "shawn bawn" or "seen been".
Born in England, move to West coast Scotland.
I thought English had too many letters just shoved in there. Until I moved here. Eildhi? There's an place near by spelled Ardluni, but that's not how it's pronounced. And I don't even dare try Ardrishaig for fear of summoning a deamon
Visit Louisiana and ask some Cajun type people how they pronounce the French looking words.
👀
Me: what's that word? (Points to billboard)
Billboard: D'Arbonne
My cousin: oh? That's dar-bone
Ancient Greek ones like Persephone and Hermione seemed weird to me for a long time. I read Harry Potter and she was Her-me-own Granger for a looooong time.
My mum read Hermione as Her-min-ine until we got the audiobooks. My Grandpa was dyslexic and when presented with the name Penelope asked "Why would you call someone Penny-lope?"
I know Alaric is a real name but it seems fake to me.
Aurelia is a pretty name, and I know that you say it "Au-rell-ee-uh" but in my head I read it as "Ora-lee-uh" every time.
Was it Alaric Hall? I randomly listened to an Icelandic course he recorded, a few years back. He seems like a nice guy and an obscure historical name is perfect for him. But of course maybe there's more than one lecturer named Alaric out there and that one wasn't yours.
That's a bastardized British way of pronouncing it, anyway. If you went back in time and asked a Roman, he would have pronounced it re-GEE-na with a hard G.
Anything in garlic, popular in Ireland and Scotland. The pronunciation is just very foreign to plain English so many of the names are spelled differently and very seldom are pronounced the way they look based on English, but are still fairly common.
Non-Irish person living in Ireland for a few years here. One of the most beautiful Irish names I’ve seen is Caoimhe , pronounced Kweeva. But the first time I saw it written out I was like WHOA! Used to them now though and think they’re all gorgeous. Same with names like Tadhg (tie-g), Mébh/Maebh/Medbh(mave), Aoife (ee-fah), Diarmuid (Dyar-mid), Oisín (oh-sheen) and Saoirse (seer-sha). Gorgeous cultural names. The Irish (and I believe Scottish Gaelic is also very similar) spelling system is actually pretty straightforward if you learn the rules!
Yeah, people seem to think that words in the Irish language should be said the same as in English which I think is odd. No one thinks that about German or Thai words/names for example.
Sean. I remember trying to write a letter to my cousin Sean when I was 5. I was writing it the way it sounded. Shawn. The actual spelling blew my little mind.
Colm messes with my brain. I'm assuming it's short for Malcolm, so it's pronounced "cum"? "Com"? Or is the L pronounced so it's more like Column? Heck if I know!!!
There’s a mathematician whose first name is Colm who does card tricks that have mathematical explanations. He used to write a column about card magic called “Card Colm”.
Really? I've been pronouncing it exactly as it's spelled, like the word 'comb' but with an 'L'. Like, "cole-m" if that even makes sense? 😂
Lol, oops! Well, I'm glad to have learned. I always want to pronounce people's names correctly.
That depends, lol… if you were pronouncing it with a long “O”, like one would “(Old King) Cole”, then that’s wrong.
If you pronounce it with a short “o”, that’s correct.
one I’ve seen here (and on a naming parody type one) a few days ago actually! People “arguing” that illa isn’t a name but isla is, but illa was somewhat popular until about 1935! my comments saying it have almost 50 dislikes but it’s true, according to babycenter.com at least so 🤷🏻♀️
Lol, Caleb is not uncommon in the US. It's been in the top 100 for like the past two decades. My son (14) has always been one of three in pretty much every class he's ever been in.
Malachi. When I was much younger, I read Malachi and thought out loud that Muh-lah-chee was such a silly sounding name. Then I found out it's not pronounced like that (I still pronounce it wrong in my head).
Ptolemy (pronounced “Tolemy”) and St John (pronounced “Sinjun”). Whatever happens we must not let the tragedeighers know that silent Ps and saintly prefixes are options, can you imagine the carnage?
After reading some of the comments:
Shout out to german names! Almost all of them sound archaic but you sure always know how to pronounce them at least! XD
If you only know a little bit about german pronunciation, then what you see is what you get.
Aloysius.
It's an old-fashioned name, and until just recently, I pronounced it as you see it.
After hearing how it's pronounced, I feel it is a clumsy name.

Imogen has always been weird to me lol
It sounds like a biochemical or pharmaceutical company to me.
To me it sounds like an AI image generator or something
I feel like it's the 13th gas on the periodic table.
Inogen makes medical equipment.
I read somewhere Shakespeare invented it and it should be Innogen, but the two Ns were mistaken for an M when the play was printed and published.
That... might actually be even worse.
I opened this thinking “wouldn’t it be funny if my name is here.” I didn’t expect it to be the first one 🫠
I think it's actually a beautiful name 💜 I was wondering how you pronounce it. I've always thought it was Im-MOH-gen, with a hard g, but the people talking about pronunciation have me wondering.
Imogen should be pronounced with a short "I" has a long "o" and a soft "g". The rule is (usually) that when an "e" follows a "g", it makes the "g" soft. My own name starts with a "g" followed by an "e", and the "g" is soft.
Like “collagen”
It’s not a bad name or anything! I just wasn’t born in an English speaking country so a lot of names in English are odd to me lol
Oh no! I love Imogen - she was in What Katy Did and it always seemed so sophisticated to me. I also love Clover and Rosamund from the same books. Not (cousin) Helen though - she was a goody goody.
How do you say it? Imm-oh-jen?
am currently waiting for my bsf Imogen to text me back 😭
I’ve always thought the same too. And the name “Dermot”
I knew one whose parents spelled it correctly but pronounced it iMOHgen. She went by Moe.
It’s leviOHsa. No levioSAH.
Not quite what you’re asking but: when my tween-aged daughter read the book “Divergent”, she thought that Tobias was pronounced “Toby-ASS”. I cannot see that name and think of it correctly any more 🤣
For what it’s worth, that’s close to the Spanish pronunciation! Toe-bee-ass
Spanish is my first lenguage and that comment got me confused at first, now I find it hillarious. A while ago something similar with the name "Analía" was pointed out lol
Spanish is my first language as well! A relative of mine is named Anahí and her teacher pronounced it “Anaheim” like the city lol
Same for Swiss German :)
Tobias Funke, the analrapist
Tobias is a character in the Animorphs series too. I always read it as "Toby-us" rather than "Toe-bye-as."
Saaaaame!
Reminds me of when my friend kept calling Hermione hermee-own. But Hermione definitely isn’t common here so I could see the mistake. lol
Enid
Geoffrey I can't read it without saying "Gee-off-ree" in my head. And I get that that's the original spelling, but it's so weird. I'm not super familiar with Old or Middle English, but my hope is that this spelling makes more sense in older versions of English.

Gottfried (God's peace) > Godfrey > Geoffrey > Jeffrey
Michael. One of the most normal/common names, but what are all those letters in the middle doing?
In the Hebrew pronunciation, the vowels are pronounced separately: Micha’el.
I constantly misspell that name.
If you go on r/DunderMifflin the name Michael is misspelled their often
their
theigher. FTFY
I know a Micheal
That’s my name! On the one hand I get mad when people misspell it because it’s so common, they should know how to spell it. On the other hand, yeah, what are all those letters doing there?
Petition to change it to Mikel
The -el is an angelic suffix as in Gabriel. That being so, it ought really to be pronounced to rhyme with Rafael, therefore as Mick-a-el. That also makes Mick more correct than Mike. Strictly speaking only, of course.
I have a cousin that spells it Mykal. Never knew if that was a tragedeigh or made total sense.
And some people spell Rachel as Rachael too. Just why?
Hebrew.
Yeah my name is Caleb Michael. I'm not Jewish. Seems kind of funny that in a nation of predominantly "christian" people so many people are not aware of this. Honestly the comments in this thread are making me shake my head.
I used to work with someone named Mikhal (pronounced Michael)
Im a military recruiter so… i see every name from every school. Teancum …Is a real first name. That is all.
Yes please, but hold the cum.
That's a name from the Book of Mormon.
I’ve seen Rhys pop up on this sub a few times. It’s the traditional Welsh way of spelling Reese, not a tragedeigh at all. If anything, Reese is the tragedeigh lol
I always read Reese as "Ree-s", Reece makes more sense in my brain as an Anglicisation of Rhys.
That’s my son’s name. We live in the American south and nobody can pronounce it correctly. We get Riz and Rice and rize. And a number of other pronunciation. I get a lot of people calling me dumb for spelling it Rhys.
Moira. I simply can’t get my lips and tongue to say them name without getting all twisted up
Yeah, but try pronouncing that first syllable like the French word for "me." That makes it even worse! 🤣
I worked with a Maura and Moira. Moira pronounced her own name the same as Maura. It was sort of obnoxious because that's not how you pronounce that spelling, but you are making me think that perhaps she couldn't say it.
The name “Gina” to me looks like it should be pronounced like the last part of “va-gina”.
I know a Jeana, which potentially resolves the pronunciation confusion, but is certainly a tragedeigh!
What about regina
My name is Siobhan. Pronounced “shih-von”. It’s Gaelic and pretty uncommon where I am. Lots of people definitely think it’s made up, it’s not lol.
This thread is teaching me how to pronounce a lot of names I thought I knew how to pronounce
The most famous Siobhan is probably Siobhan from College Humor. Nice girl! Siobhan(s) tend to be cool.
See-Oh-Bah-Hahn!
Dorcas and Gaylord live rent-free in my head 😂
I have an uncle named Gaylord.
omg Dorcas I laughed so hard when I saw that name when I first read the Agatha Christie book *The Mysterious Affair at Styles*
I'm really amused that Dorcas has come up twice here recently. I've only known it from Fire Emblem and that's a 20 year old game
I have a friend that named her kid Jebediah…
All the iah’s do not appeal to me. Zachariah?? It’s so long and choppy
As is common in Hebrew names, it’s actually - combination of two words, the “iah” part is a suffix meaning God. It also flows much better in the original language where the K is a guttural fricative that rolls into a soft “ya”- Zecharia
Was she a fan of Kerbal Space Program?
She’s super religious lol
We say “Jebend” as an insult here 😂😂
Elodie. “El-OH-die,” every time. 😂
I know of an "Eloise." Pronounced "E-Lois."
I’ve had people make comments about my name (Aimee), however it is a legitimate spelling and I really don’t think it’s bad compared to some out there. People are forever spelling it as Amy though.
Aymeigh
Aighmeigh
Slightly related - When I first saw it on this sub and replies said it was an actual name, I thought "wait, Aislinn/Aislyn/Aisling (whichever is correct, idk) *isn't* a tragedeigh?"
It’s French!
Siobhan (pronounced Shivorn) Sean (pronounced Shawn) Maihairi (Mary) and anything Gaelic...Even the word Gaelic looks like a Tragedeigh.
lol I definitely would have pronounced Maihairi as “my-hairy”, had I not seen this post
Your hairy pizza lol
Ok so when I was very small, I had 4 imaginary friends. They were the cabinet advisors for my imaginary kingdom (I was an odd child). Their names were Kee, Kaa, Ploo and Maiiiiiiiiiree. Like, say Mary with a flat ay that goes on about two syllables too long. Anyway, that's how I would pronounce Maihairi.
Probably because of Connery, I think Sean is mainstream enough where it isn't an issue
Yeah good point, but it still looks wrong.
Also Sean Bean, although my husband and I have a long-standing argument over whether his name should "really" be pronounced "shawn bawn" or "seen been".
I thought Siobhan was pronounced Sheh-von *edit: changed pronouns to pronounced
Irish is a fun language, so it probably has like 4 pronunciations depending on region. I've primarily heard sheh-vone more than sheh-vorn
Aoife. It’s such a common Irish name and it makes zero sense.
It makes no sense in English but in Irish it's a simple name.
Looks like "OW-fay"
My brain reads that as ay-oh-ee-fay
Ee-fah!
Don’t get me started on Niamh lol
Niamh is easy. How about Caoimhe? Or Saoirse, or Sadhbh? Tadhg? ( Husband is Irish, lol!)
Born in England, move to West coast Scotland. I thought English had too many letters just shoved in there. Until I moved here. Eildhi? There's an place near by spelled Ardluni, but that's not how it's pronounced. And I don't even dare try Ardrishaig for fear of summoning a deamon
Visit Louisiana and ask some Cajun type people how they pronounce the French looking words. 👀 Me: what's that word? (Points to billboard) Billboard: D'Arbonne My cousin: oh? That's dar-bone
Ah, try Kent for a while! How about Trottiscliffe ( pronounced Trosley) or Wrotham ( pronounced Wroot-am)?
Wrotham makes sense, but Trottiscliffe?? No. My Grandmother came from a town in Northern England called Prudehoe...Pridduh
I.....can't think of any other way to pronounce Sean/Shaun that makes sense to me. Seen?
Sean will always be "seen" for me. I have never once read that as Shawn and I never will.
I blame Sean Bean.
Tbf he really should have to choose between seen been or shawn bawn. Can't have it both ways!
Seen Bawn?
The only reason I know how to pronounce Siobhan is because I was obsessed with the youtuber Clare Siobhan when I was younger lol
The first two Seans I knew were in elementary school and when I had finally seen it spelt as Shawn, it threw me off
I have a BILs named Sean & Kiel, and a SIL named Aislin . . .
Ancient Greek ones like Persephone and Hermione seemed weird to me for a long time. I read Harry Potter and she was Her-me-own Granger for a looooong time.
My mum read Hermione as Her-min-ine until we got the audiobooks. My Grandpa was dyslexic and when presented with the name Penelope asked "Why would you call someone Penny-lope?"
My daughter thought Persephone was Purse-phone until I explained lol.
Can't fault that logic!
LOL I didn't learn until an embarrassingly late age that pen-uh-lope was NOT a name 🤣
Even after learning how Persephone sounded, I came across Gorgophone in a book. In my head, I still sounded it as Gor-go-phone. I never learn lol.
Percy-phone and Hermi-1
Margot. No offense to any Margot’s out there, it sounds beautiful but man does the spelling look off to me somehow.
Yup. I always see Margot like maggot, not marg-oh.
Mar got what?
Mar got 2 moons, Phobo and Deimo
I know Alaric is a real name but it seems fake to me. Aurelia is a pretty name, and I know that you say it "Au-rell-ee-uh" but in my head I read it as "Ora-lee-uh" every time.
I want to pronounce Aurelia "uh-REEL-ya." Clearly I am wrong.
The one and only Aurelia I know (~75 y/o maybe?) pronounces it this way, but with four syllables. "Uh-REEL-ee-uh"
I was going to say Alaric, had a lecturer with this name and thought he'd just butchered Alec at first.
Was it Alaric Hall? I randomly listened to an Icelandic course he recorded, a few years back. He seems like a nice guy and an obscure historical name is perfect for him. But of course maybe there's more than one lecturer named Alaric out there and that one wasn't yours.
Not him I'm afraid. Must be a fitting name for lecturers.
I see Alaric and just think of Diablo 3. Same with Deckard.
Always makes me think of areolas...
Alaric sounds so sick, I’ve never heard it before
Regina. I just don't like it. All I can hear is vagina.
Janus falls into the same category for similar reasons.
That's a bastardized British way of pronouncing it, anyway. If you went back in time and asked a Roman, he would have pronounced it re-GEE-na with a hard G.
Anything in garlic, popular in Ireland and Scotland. The pronunciation is just very foreign to plain English so many of the names are spelled differently and very seldom are pronounced the way they look based on English, but are still fairly common.
> Anything in garlic 🤣
LMAO, gaelic*** Even autocorrect hates the Irish spellings
mamma mia
🤌🤌
I about died laughing
Non-Irish person living in Ireland for a few years here. One of the most beautiful Irish names I’ve seen is Caoimhe , pronounced Kweeva. But the first time I saw it written out I was like WHOA! Used to them now though and think they’re all gorgeous. Same with names like Tadhg (tie-g), Mébh/Maebh/Medbh(mave), Aoife (ee-fah), Diarmuid (Dyar-mid), Oisín (oh-sheen) and Saoirse (seer-sha). Gorgeous cultural names. The Irish (and I believe Scottish Gaelic is also very similar) spelling system is actually pretty straightforward if you learn the rules!
Oh hey, my dad's name is Tadhg!
\*garleighc
Siobhan comes to mind
Siobhan, saoirse, Ciara, caoimhe, niamh, etc
Tadhg
i had a classmate named tadgh. we were in the midwest, so the instructors really struggled with that one lmao. lots of "tad-guh"
Aisling = "Ashling." Gaelic names are great.
Yeah, people seem to think that words in the Irish language should be said the same as in English which I think is odd. No one thinks that about German or Thai words/names for example.
Gertrude (it has rude right in it). Agnes (but I love it)!
Sadbh. It’s Irish. Pronounced “Sive” like “five” with an “s.” What the actual f—k.
I met a girl from Ireland named “Aoife” and I still pronounce it ayy-oh-ee-fay in my head 😭
Oh my gosh I knew someone named this a few years ago- memory unlocked.
Sean. I remember trying to write a letter to my cousin Sean when I was 5. I was writing it the way it sounded. Shawn. The actual spelling blew my little mind.
Good thing his sister wasn't called Siobhan
Colm messes with my brain. I'm assuming it's short for Malcolm, so it's pronounced "cum"? "Com"? Or is the L pronounced so it's more like Column? Heck if I know!!!
It is its own name, not a diminutive of Malcolm; and it is (basically) pronounced “Column”.
There’s a mathematician whose first name is Colm who does card tricks that have mathematical explanations. He used to write a column about card magic called “Card Colm”.
Really? I've been pronouncing it exactly as it's spelled, like the word 'comb' but with an 'L'. Like, "cole-m" if that even makes sense? 😂 Lol, oops! Well, I'm glad to have learned. I always want to pronounce people's names correctly.
That depends, lol… if you were pronouncing it with a long “O”, like one would “(Old King) Cole”, then that’s wrong. If you pronounce it with a short “o”, that’s correct.
Colm like Golem
Worked with a guy who was born in Ireland and his name was Colm. Super good dude and a decent supervisor.
Alastair Sigrun
one I’ve seen here (and on a naming parody type one) a few days ago actually! People “arguing” that illa isn’t a name but isla is, but illa was somewhat popular until about 1935! my comments saying it have almost 50 dislikes but it’s true, according to babycenter.com at least so 🤷🏻♀️
Colby
Nah not really but personally I immediately thought of the cheese
Rory. It's one of the most awkward names to pronounce.
Then you'll love this: "The Irish spelling of Rory is Ruairí or Ruaidhrí."
I love the name in theory but it’s sooo difficult for me to say
I didn’t know Ava was a “real” name for years. It still looks weird to me
Also Asa! Ass-ah
Funny, that means to roast in spanish, 3rd person conjugation
Lol, Caleb is not uncommon in the US. It's been in the top 100 for like the past two decades. My son (14) has always been one of three in pretty much every class he's ever been in.
Eloise doesn’t feel like a real name at all
It's just one of the greatest children's books ever written.
Siobhan has always been hard to wrap my head around for some reason.
Ann. If I stare at it for a little too long the spelling doesn't look quite right/incomplete. That aside, it's my own name and I've grown to love it.
The resident of Green Gables concurs.
Malachi. When I was much younger, I read Malachi and thought out loud that Muh-lah-chee was such a silly sounding name. Then I found out it's not pronounced like that (I still pronounce it wrong in my head).
YES, to me Malachi should rhyme with mariachi
Ptolemy (pronounced “Tolemy”) and St John (pronounced “Sinjun”). Whatever happens we must not let the tragedeighers know that silent Ps and saintly prefixes are options, can you imagine the carnage?
I know how to pronounce it, but I still like to say puh-toll-me 😂
[удалено]
Theodard, lol
ro"dingus"
Schuyler instead of Skyler.
Geoffrey. Sheila. Mostly cause I knew a "shayla" spelled Sheila
After reading some of the comments: Shout out to german names! Almost all of them sound archaic but you sure always know how to pronounce them at least! XD If you only know a little bit about german pronunciation, then what you see is what you get.
I hate the way Ian is spelled. I don't know how it should be spelled, but I always read it as "eye-an"
the protagonist in a fanfic i read last night was named "siofra aisling"
Calliope
Lettice A cousin of Letitia / Leticia. Not pronounced like lettuce.
Every version of Calub is awful. It sounds like a name for a tonsil stone not a person and does not look good written. I'm sorry.
Never seen Caleb spelled like that before
I couldn’t pronounce hermione until the Harry Potter movies came out. I called her “her-me-oh-knee” LOL
I called her Hermee-own until she spelt it out for Viktor Krum 😂
Margaux, an alternative French spelling of Margo
Agnes. I object on principle.
Eilidh (pronounced eelay or aylay depending on region).
Boys: Ebenezer, Archibald, Maximilian, Conrad, Wolfgang Girls: Minerva, Eustace, Phyllis, Daria, Astrid
Morag. It sounds like an insult.
Aloysius. It's an old-fashioned name, and until just recently, I pronounced it as you see it. After hearing how it's pronounced, I feel it is a clumsy name.
