I’m an elementary teacher. Today I was working with someone else at a different school while she called out the students in her class. At the end of the period, I had to stop and ask her if I’d heard the name correctly. That’s when she showed me the spelling. The child’s name was Picsyl (Pixel).

it’s pronounced EXACTLY like Noah.

Yes, Noway is a real, albeit rare name. But the pronunciation is nothing like Noah. Not in American English (I am in the U.S.), and not in the language that the name originates from.

Swip….really?!?

Basically, the other day, a friend of mine, apparently he was already thinking about the future names of his kids, he asked me what I thought, he then told me "Linnea", I was like "cool" and then he showed me how he'd spell it "Lynneighyaur", I was baffled

Would you consider this a tragedeigh?

And someone tells me her name is Lucy.

Can't find her name on the system, but I can find a name that Leecey/Lacey. Spell it out to her.

yEaH, LuCY. Der, of course, my mistake.

Her name is spelt Liecy.

Kharley

Charlie? Carly?

Christtle. Sorry, why?

Ill start.

Willow become Whyllough

Found on threads. User said these were her baby names list from when she was younger and is glad she didn't use any of them. The included pronunciations are 👩🏻‍🍳💋

I have what some would call a tragedeigh-ed version of the name Emily. I wanna see if anyone can guess how it’s spelled. I’ll give one hint here and maybe more in the comments. Hint: I go by the nn Emma

Also I’d love just to hear any wacky spellings of Emily you’ve seen before!

UPDATE w/ the answer: I’m kind of surprised only a couple of people got it, but most of y’all were really close. It’s Emmalie. One comment was weirdly spot on about it being a better name combo for Bella and Edward to pick than Renesmee (or however you spell that). My dad wanted me to be “Emily” and my mom wanted “Emma”, so this was their compromise, thank god they didn’t go with “Emmaly” 🤢. My mom sort of won in the end since I was only ever called Emma growing up, and now the only people who call me by my actual name are my partner and their parents. Thanks for playing everyone!

I work at burger king and when i’m in drive thru and people pay with card I like to look at their name to see what’s on there simply out of curiosity. The other day I came across a “Billeigh”. Never thought i’d encounter a tragedeigh irl let alone a boy one. To top it all off he looked like older and british version of young sheldon 😭😭😭

My son and I were doing school work, and it ALWAYS has some funky names. Donye is possibly a name from another culture, but Jayceon is pure tragedeigh. Having done a google search, it says it is, "a modern American invention that combines the classic name Jason (or Jace) with a trendy "ceon" suffix.
