- robbedpeter 5y agoMy name is Blarfengar, spelled S-M-I-T-H.
- throw0101a 5y ago> My name is Blarfengar, spelled S-M-I-T-H. Are you from Wales?
- toyg 5y agoNah, probably from Ireland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVaHvRLlHr0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVaHvRLlHr0 "My name contains seven silent letters"...
- bener 5y agoCraig in the USA is "Creg", and in other countries it's "Crayg". Language is constantly evolving.
- iainmerrick 5y agoThat one is extremely weird (and distracting if you happen to be talking about a Craig). I assume they just don’t notice the difference, like with marry/merry/Mary.
- KerrAvon 5y agoWhere in the USA are you hearing “Creg?” I’ve never heard it pronounced that way.
- SamBam 5y agoI'm in New England and have only ever heard it pronounced Creg. Wikipedia agrees that this is common: "In North America it is often pronounced with a short vowel sound /krɛɡ/, as in "egg"" [1] 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_(given_name) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_(given_name)
- quadrifoliate 5y ago> I can't tell you my name is spelled K-Y-L-E and insist it is pronounced "Mark" Not the same thing at all. This is more like someone following different pronunciation rules insisting that your name as spelled is pronounce "Kee-lay"; and if you actually want "Kaa-il", you should spell it K-A-I-L instead. It kind of makes sense that way too, as long as the rules are somewhat consistent in their version. If the creator wanted to name it after Jif, the extension and name should have both been JIF. Putting in a G instead of a J is begging to create confusion about the pronunciation.
