I don't think so.

There are lots of names that people have respelled, or that have multiple pronunciations (e.g. Maya / Maia). It's not hard to remember once you've been told once, and it's such a lovely name I think it should be used anyway :)

There's a little boy named Tadhg

---

at the school where I work. No one has a problem with his name. He moved here from Ireland last year.

In North America, yes at the moment

Perhaps in the future it'll become popular enough for its pronunciation to be widely understood. But the future hasn't come quite yet for it.

Teague (TEEG, I think), the Anglicised form, sounds a little different from Tadhg (TIEG), but is still similar enough in sound to be a good substitute choice imo.

Nope. Just spell it Tygue.

I love Tadhg too. If your in the US then it would be a difficult name to have. A lot of people will not know how to say it or spell it. But there are lots of different types of people from all different backgrounds in the US who have foreign and different names and they get along just fine. So I don't think it's unusable, it just won't be an easy name for people. If you really love it you might try changing the spelling to make it easier for people if that concerns you, maybe Tyge or Tigue. I do prefer the original spelling though.

In America, yes, I think it would be completely unusable.

:)D.

Perhaps...

but it could still work as a lovely mn. I've actually always pronounced it with a hard G sound.

Yes.
