How would you pronounce Gryff please?

[Tantrictantrum]

Decisions to be made on spelling, how would you assume this name was pronounced?

Griff to rhyme with stiff, biff, etc

Griff.

Griff

I would spell it Griff, well that's the way the welsh spell it.

I would pronounce it so it rhymes with stiff.

^cross post!

Griff to rhyme with spliff.

No, it should be spelled Gruff. U is pronounced I in Welsh.

I've always seen it spelt Gruff

Gruff looks cooler than Gryff.

Is Gruff pronounced Griff or Gruff (rhyming with buff)

No, it should be spelled Gruff

Is Gryff as in Gryff Rhys Jones just an alternative spelling?

Gruff as in Gruffalo

But if it were Griff, I'd say it as in Rhys Jones, so rhyme with stiff.

Yes Sir

Gruff is pronounced Griff, but I can see that in England it might be pronounced as in Billy Goats Gruff. Short form of Gruffudd (pronounced Griffith)

I've never seen Gryff but would pronounce it Griff. In Welsh that would sound out as Gruff to rhyme with Buff.

Griff Rhys Jones is called Griff(ith), not Gryff!

If you are in England, spell it Griff.

In Wales, the name is Gruff (pronounced Griff). Gryff just looks made up (which it is). Maybe short for Gryffindor?

Griff - I can't think how it could be pronounced otherwise

Griff

So he is - I always thought he was called Gryff Rhys Jones, but I've just realised he isn't!

Gryffydd is the welsh for Griffith or are derivatives of the same name. (Disclaimer I'm welsh but not welsh speaking but learnt a little a ling time ago)
Y can be pronounced u (as in up) and I (as in in)
For example ysbyty (hospital) is pronounced us but ee as I think it depends on where in the word the y is and what letters are around it so gryffydd would be pronounced gruff i th.
So gryff is pronounced gruff and griff is pronounced griff

I thought it was Gruffudd, like Ioan Gruffudd.

I think there are two versions of the traditional name: Gruffydd or Gruffudd, both Gruff for short.
