Engo?

[Robinhoods]

Pronounced as Ehn - Jo ?

@Robinhoods , I thought people would read it with j as it looks like Engine?
The i after g in engine changes the sound to a g sound.

At first glance it looks like En-yo, a company or a product.

Ok got it! Time to think of a different name!

Ridiculous, stupid and cruel.

Why not just...Joe?

Engo frictionless anti-blister patches are great to stick inside your shoes for where they rub. Really doesn't sound like a child's name (or anyone's name!).

And yes, you need an 'i' 'e' or 'y' after a 'g' to make a 'j' sound (most of the time).

It makes me think of Pingu for some reason! I think his friends were all called things like Pinga, Pingo etc.

I thought people would read it with j as it looks like Engine?

No, because the letter 'g' only sounds like 'j' before an 'i' or an 'e' or a 'y'. Otherwise it is a hard 'g'.

Ridiculous and made-up

Awful but I do like Enzo.

Written down it could be mistaken for ergo, therefore not a name!

Enzo is lovely but is Enjo not a company that sells cleaning products?

do you actually want him to be bullied? sorry but this is setting him up for failure from the start. imo this is perpetuating the patriarchal view that boys need interesting names. just call it james and move on tbh

It reminds me of the name of a rescue dog I had as a child- whose previous owners called Enzo. But that is also a perfectly reasonable human name(especially for Italians!).
Also sounds a bit too much like ‘and go’. It could work in other languages though.

Sounds like a medicinal condition

Back to the drawing board!

What about Engie Benjy?
Or Jollop
Or Dan

Just no

It sounds like you are tying to say Enzo with a mouth full of food

Don't be daft. It's not a name

Ingo would be beter.

It's terrible!!!! Remember you are naming a real person not a doll.

Ingo is Ing-go to rhyme with Ringo BTW.
