Help[Opinions] Re: Yeah yeah...
in reply to a message by Perrine
Even if it's Tessa-lee, it sounds like baby talk for Cecily.
I don't know why anyone would just assume it was a hard t and not a th sound. Why would we?
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

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.

It does. In the UK.

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.
