@Noname99, but the OP said on another thread that she had made up the name Tareyon, so the only way we can find out how to pronounce it is by asking her. In this case, we can’t learn how to pronounce a new word which, phonetically speaking, has many different possible pronunciations. I agree though about the others, and perhaps you were exclusively referring to Ishiah, were you? I posted earlier on, and I see my message autocorrect to Isiah. The OP would would have to put up with a lot of these errors if she chose the name, irrespective of the rights and wrongs behind them. The fault may lie with the person who mispronounces, but the resulting irritation will still be for the OP and her son to deal with.

I love Cassius. The others are nice enough but Cassius is particularly lovely.

Caspian and Casper are similar to Cassius, if that helps?

I like Cassius. Not sure about Tareyon.
Trayan?

Socksontheradiatoragain · 04/06/2020 08:34

I'm no help. I like them all! Toss a coin if you do, OP?

NeedToKnow101 · 04/06/2020 08:27

I like Ishiah the most. Cassius could be shortened to Cassie, which to me is not a strong name

Yester · 04/06/2020 03:07

I have a name a bit like Ishiah that people constantly can't say right. As long as you don't mind it it doesn't matter. Though I hate spelling it as my long surname also needs spelling about 10 times a day!!!

MrsTerryPratchett · 04/06/2020 02:57

Ishiah is nice but religious so if you aren't, I wouldn't. Cassius is great.

NoLongerAnEasyTarget · 04/06/2020 02:10

Cassius sounds the strongest out of the three.

Also I love it.

Wheresthebiffer2 · 04/06/2020 01:39

Hopefully your son will see the funny side when he has his name mispronounced for the 500th time.

@Noname99
Hahaha sorry this brightened up my mood ! Psml !!
This is exactly what I think when people say they can’t pronounce !!

Noname99 · 02/06/2020 22:30

Jesus wept..... firstly Ishiah is an ancient name - it’s origins are in Hebrew - it’s different to Isiah so all you rude ignorant folk claiming the op can’t spell need to check the damn bible!

And secondly, to all the “can’t pronounce it” brigade ..... fucking learn! How hard is it to learn how to pronounce a name? Britain truly is fucked if we can’t cope with a little diversity in names. Perhaps we should just go back to colonial times and just remove any names from the have non Anglo Saxon letter patterns that reflect ethnic minority cultures and insist they all get a good ol’ British name!

Cassius is the nicest. The other two sound made up.

Twisique · 02/06/2020 17:23

Cassius!

How about Cassius Elijah Smile

notalwaysalondoner · 02/06/2020 12:56

Cassius.

Assume Ishiah is a misspelling and you meant Isaiah? Which is also a lovely name.

Don’t like Tareyon, sounds made up.

EveryoneLoves09876 · 02/06/2020 11:29

How do you pronounce Tareyon? I like Cassius.

weepingwillow22 · 02/06/2020 06:57

Bear in mind Cassius is derived from the Latin cassus (hollow, empty) so not exactly strong although the associations of the name are.

DemolitionCrew · 02/06/2020 06:57

I like ishiah best but only if spelled and pronounced Isaiah .
Tareyon sounds Game Of Thrones even If it isn’t.
Cassius sounds a bit like something someone might name their Pitbull.

Toddlerteaplease · 02/06/2020 06:41

I would think you've made them up, apart from Cassius.

SnuggyBuggy · 02/06/2020 06:39

I also like Isaiah if that's what you meant. Ishiah looks like a misspelling or how you would pronounce Isaiah with a lisp.
