"th" names a problem

I wish I'd thought about this before I'd named dd1.
It makes me cringe everything one of her friends yells Befffff

Theo and Thea are fabulous names imo!
I don’t know anyone who pronounces the ‘th’ as a ‘f’. I know many Arthur’s in my DC’s schools and their names are always pronounced correctly.
Just choose a name you like, not because of regional accents.. (or laziness when speaking, don’t mean to offend!)

I have a name that I actually couldn’t say properly until I was in my late teens - took a lot of speech therapy to get there, and meant I used a nickname constantly until then! I did take that into account when choosing names - my children’s names don’t have R, Th, or S as I just didn’t want them to have the same issue.

I think if there’s an obvious nickname that you’re happy with then it’s ok to use a Th/R/S name though.

Both my DC have names with “th” sounds in them, and I’ve never heard anyone pronounce them with a “f” sound instead. I would just pick the name you like. Arthur is a lovely name. And Eastenders is (fortunately) not real life.

Many can't or can't be bothered to pronounce TH correctly. Arfur and Feo are awful.

I also know quit few who really struggle with their Rs. So names like Rupert or Rory are a real struggle for them!

I'm not keen on names with 'th' in them but it depends where it is, and what the other consonants are.
Theo and Thea - not keen.
Theodore is awful but Theophilus ok.
Dorothy ok, Dorothea and Theodora not ok.
Arthur - not keen, but it's nice in welsh (ARR-thirr)
Elizabeth and Ruth are fine.

Maybe it's just me.

Feo and Fea are awful.

Yes I can't stand the th as f thing, it's likes nails on a blackboard. Thankfully we don't typically do it in Ireland but my partners brother does (not sure why, it drives me mad) and I couldn't bear having to listen to him saying Thea as Fea or whatever. I've ruled any Th name out just because of that.

Yes! My mum does this and so did I (because my mum never corrected me) for a while and I had to train myself out of it as an adult. I like a lot of th names but I would just cringe every time I heard my mum say her name (I realise this makes me sound awful)
