How would you pronounce the name “Tage”?

Just out of curiosity; how would you pronounce the name “Tage”?

It’s an older Swedish name. We’re thinking about it for Elise’s and Viola’s little brother, but we’re not UK based so wouldn’t know how it would be pronounced in English speaking countries.

@Tintackedsea "Native English speakers with a limited ethnic pool of people in their experience lose their shit about this. IMAGINE the HORROR of having to sound out your name or spell it! Good LORD! Too, too dreadful. This will curse the child for life."

Oh, don't be ridiculous. Replace "horror" with "tedium". Assuming he's going to be brought up in England, imagine having to correct either the spelling or the pronunciation of your name every. single.time. The vast majority of English speakers would, entirely reasonably, say Tage to rhyme with Page. The occasional Swedish speaker would say "Oh, is that...?" Your name would never not cause a comment.

This made me smile, thank you 😆

Rhyming with page or sage.

Thanks again to everyone taking the time! I think it’s still a strong contender for us! Any other suggestions are very welcome 🤗
