English is not my first language but Thomas, Thomasin, Anthony, Thames? There are several names and place names in which the TH sounds like a T.

In English, the th in Anthony doesn't sound like a hard t.

In the US, not in England or Australia.

Yeah I have a hard time pronouncing Anthony with a th rather than a hard t lol Technically I can, I just have to concentrate. I also sometimes pronounce it with with an f though (making it more ann-foney).

@Wordsmith - How is Thessaly supposed to be pronounced? I'm pronouncing it like "tess-a-lee" but I could be wrong

I pronounce it with a soft "th" (like in "think") -- "Tessaly" sounds a bit too frivolous and confected, sort of like Tiffany.
