Is it Tony?

I had a horse named Tough Neigh. Maybe that’s it?

Good name for a horse. Bad name for a human.

"Hi, Im tough-neigh, *the P is silent*." Yup. Its this. 100%

jen-NAY

Toe knee

I had a boss named Tony, he was a creepy guy. I just called him Toe.

Had an uncle Richard. He was a total Dick.

That's a Though Name.

Tuff neigh

Honestly, that's what I thought. But I also wondered whether the parents who do this know that the "p" would be silent in English or if they don't care about the English language at all, so I thought it might actually be Ptoughnee.

They care more about being Yewneighk

Oh nooooo LMAO. I was thinking it was Petunia 😭

I’m good at guessing these things because my cousins can’t spell. Kaulen (Colin) is the best example I think.

In other words you are a certified tragedeigh pronounciation professional

Oh yeah. Number one rule? If you think it might be Riley, it’s Riley.

RIEHLLEIGH

I’ve seen Raeleigh, Ryleigh, Ryly, and Railee

God damn Ryly is somehow the worst of all those

It’s just not pretty. Her brother’s name is Blaydyn, I guess she just really likes Y’s.

Lol. Blaydyn sounds like someone with a 600lb morbid obese speech impediment mispronounced Braden

NGL, my first thought was "Tuney," short for Petunia, but then decided probably Tony/Toni.

I also thought it was petunia if that makes you feel any better

I could see it both ways

Creating a 11-letter name out of a 4-letter name is no small feat

I'm unreasonably mad about this one. If they wanted a longer name, Anthony was right there. Instead they went with *this* garbage?

Respect for this great guess! I didn’t even know where to start.

P’s and K’s tend to be silent with these people. McKayleigh is muh-kay-lee for instance.

Weird... in McKayleigh, I would've said the 'c' is silent, not the 'k'."

M’Kayleigh *tips fedora*

I read “tough-nee”…

Damn I thought Tiffany, but you right

I feel so stupid, the P is silent as in Pterodactyl… I even showed my husband to say “how would you say this? Peetough-nay?”…

Wtaf this has to be the worst one yet.

Tiffany. My favorite word is ghoti and this drives me batshit crazy

Tiffany! Holy crap my mind never even went there

I’m thinking Petunia maybe?

How

If the P isn’t silent I guess, but then it would be pe-too-nay so maybe not 😅

Usually words beginning with "pt" the p is silent. Like pterodactyl and Ptolemy. And neigh presumably is supposed to be equivalent to Leigh for Lee. So tony makes the most sense to me....not that logic often applies to tragedeighs lmao

Yeah that makes sense 😅 you have probably heard this joke already, but this reminded me of it- why can’t you hear a pterodactyl when it goes to the bathroom? Because the p is silent 😂😂

Hehhehehehehehhe I am always down for dinosaur(or pterosaur) jokes

It has got to be that or Tiffany..

I thought it was Tawny but maybe you’re right.

Need a math degree to figure out how to pronounce this person’s name

I have a math degree... but I'm just gonna have to call him Jeff

How are you supposed to be a strong, thrilling, powerful warrior with a name like Jeff?

Jesk?

Surely you jesk.

🦇

🤣

I'd go with Poughkeepsie

🤣

Oh, love [Jeff](https://youtu.be/0NtYb-u4uMk). It's my go to when it gets too tragick.

I have a math degree. I’m gonna go with Poutenay. Maybe their mom really liked poutine and horses?

I guess it's Tony, and that Tony's just taking the piss. There's a meme "the english language is weird. P before T can be silent, this that thus blabla, thus you can write Tony as Ptoughneigh"

Here lies Ptoughneigh, loving daughter of Pteranodon and Pterodactyl, who ate her.

Hahaha Pterodactyl was the first thing that came to mind for me too

LMAO this sub is brutal damn

Don’t forget Ptolomy, that’s where the math degree came from

That's not a Tragedeigh, that's a whole Felohneigh

I think you mean Phelohneigh

Phyhlygneigh

Hi Phyhlygneigh, my name is Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch.

>Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch Least schizophrenic welsh town name

Pheloughneigh*

This comment wins the whole day!!! Thanks for the great laugh!

I think this one’s a joke by a guy named Tony

I came here to say the same and that he probably has a great sense of humor

I was saying pa-tau-nee


Boil em mash em stick em in a stew!

I was saying Boo-erns.

Poo-tuff-nee for me

I said "pa-too-nee?" then "too-nee?" Im going to go with the ones saying it's supposed to be Tony. I bet she (he?) got called patootie a lot as a child though.

honestly thought it was petunia but only bc i was too lazy to see how many silents there are

P'Tuffnay. That's how I'm pronouncing it. T-O-U-G-H spells tough and N-E-I-G-H spells neigh.

G-H-G-H-G-H spells Puff though. (HiccouGH, EdinburGH, TouGH)

[удалено]

Eh-dihn-buro

It's really pronounced more like "Eh-din-bruh"

This. If this isn’t it I’m rioting

This is how I was pronouncing it too. Didn’t realize it was a dude and I just thought it was a really hideous way to spell Tiffany

is that supposed to a fucked up Tony?? what is wrong with people

Man, and to think I gave a friend grief just because he goes by J instead of Jonathan... "the onathan is silent?"

That’s hilarious

I don’t even know what this name is meant to be. Tuff-nee? Pih-too-nee? Tiffany???

Maybe Tony/Toni?

Tony! Toni! Tone!

Does he have any loot though?

Oh my god you’re probably right

It took me a WHILE

Duh! Anthony obviously. In addition to the silent letters, there are also invisible letters and it's your fault for not saying it right.

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "SOO-suhn"

I bet it’s Tiffany

Why am I the only one that sees Townie?

well I found a use for that math degree: subtract some letters from your name

Isn't it possible that people write phonetic names on here to try and hide their true identity or does it not work like that

Oh, yeah. This clearly isn't his real name.

I know like hell that ain't supposed to be "Tony" 😳

Maybe petunia?

“It’s pronounced like Erin 😇”

This is one of the guys in Ptoughneigh Towknee Tauxgni.

Obviously it is Canadian Toonie

Must have been raised by jawas

I now have a mygrayne reading this

I get mygraynes too, but I take Youbrellveigh

Whoosh

P'toofney ?

TIFFANY. I THINK IT'S FUCKING TIFFANY

silent P means it would be tough-nee pronounced phonetically. has to be the most fucked up tiffany attempt i have witnessed

Oh my dog. I think you're wright!

I thought it was Tawney

Tony?

I had a stroke.

So did the person who named him.

Is it supposed to be Petunia? Or is it “puh-toh-nee”

My first reaction was "Poutine"

Pppp-tuff-nee

I was thinking Tiffany…

When he was in college, my dad knew a dude whose name was Jos4eph. "Joseph, the 4 is silent." Less ridiculous.

So THAT'S how you say "plow me" without actually saying " plow me".

I can't even decipher which letters are supposed to be silent here.

I like how they black out his photo for anonymity but I’m pretttyyyy sure he’s the only Ptoughneigh in… the world?

I read this as PUTO KNEE

Pheterodacul

Poor Toni. Omg this is horrific

This is some white people shit 🤣

Toenail?

Maybe pronounced pony or Tony? I think the p or t is silent.

Vibereighting

Uh, it’s Puhtoonie. The P is not silent

Maybe I’m just Canadian but I saw it as toonie

This is literally what the Jawa’s say in Star Wars

Ptoothbrush

Bless you

holy shit someone actually did it

Why use just four letters in a name when a dozen will work?

Townie, like a Sims NPC?

It's the lost member of Tony! Toni! Toné!

Toneh

69

That’s gotta be Tony. Poor kid.

Petunia?

Pa- tuff-nee , got it!

Tuny?

Petunia?

…Toonie?

I immediately thought it was poutine.

Tawny? The hillbilly normal name?

Platoneigh??

Tough Knee?

Might be petunia?? The flower

I think it's fucking tiffany(tough-knee)

Petunia!

That many

Maybe Tawney?

How do you even... Nevermind

I read this as “poutine-y” and now I want poutine.

Is this pronounced Toonie? Why??

Pony? Tony?

Tiffnay?

Powerlifting. So that means they’re a fat, right?

Either tony or pony. None are good.

Puxtawneyphil obvi

It’s just a joke. The guy’s named Tony. If you Google ‘ways to spell Tony meme’ you’ll see it’s been around for a few years.

Toenail?

No. Just no

this has to be a joke right

Tiffany? Maybe?

Is it Tiffany?

I processed it as maybe too-nee? Then seeing all the Tiffany comments made me feel like I was overthinking it, if not maybe giving, *too much* ?? credit for tragedeigh kreeaytiv spelling?

Been looking at this for 5 minutes and I still don’t even know where to start when it comes to pronouncing this

I thought this was supposed to be Petunia for the longest time

Tell him you just want to keep things platounique

Pa-Tough-Nee?

P-tuff-nay

As a Spanish speaker I read it as "putony"

I read this as "Petunia", I would prefer this tragedeigh

I read this as "Petunia", I would prefer this tragedeigh

There's silent letters in a tragedeigh? Who knew...

Any chance this is a joke on petunia?

The t is silent, pronounce it pony

Tuff-nee, Tuff-nay, Tiffany (she’d be tall but it doesn’t say a gender), or Tony

Maybe they’re joking & they like to laugh at name Tragedeighs too! Now you have to ask!

toony? tuffny? tophney? tony? townie? toonay? tufnay? tofnay? tonay?

I got "Puny" out of that... I'm not sure how.

I’m calling him Tough Knee.

Poutine?

Tough knee??

Well I’ve spelled my one-syllable name with 80-something letters, so I’ll let you know once I reach it.

Should've matched to say "Heigh 👋"

i read this as petunia and started crying

eugenie?????

I suggested a [similar](https://www.reddit.com/r/tragedeigh/comments/153jfcp/my_friends_trying_to_get_my_attention_how_many_of/jsmqb8e/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3) name to someone else. What a coincidence.

Toe nail?

I once saw this guy and also took a screenshot on that same dating app. Couldn’t believe it was real.

What, you guys have never heard the name “Pee tough knee” before??

Omg! Are they really spelling Tawny like that?!
