Can I have your (Scottish) opinion on this please?

[Babynamessss]

Have posted on the baby names thread but most replies are from people in England. How would you pronounce this name? If it helps I’ll attach a link at the bottom of how an English person says it (option 1). Cut to the very end of the video. Would you say it the same as him in a Scottish accent? Can’t decide whether this is enough to put me off it!
Thanks 😊

From Glasgow - know two people called Blythe and both pronounce it B-lie-th

Yep, as above. I'm from Edinburgh and would pronounce it B-lie-th.

So the ‘th’ sound as if it’s ‘Blyth’?

Th sound at the end. I've worked with a few preschool Blythe's and it's a lovely name.

B-lie-th with a soft th sound

Sorry-not Scottish, just nosy! I'd say Bly-th. I can't hear any other pronunciation. Maybe I've got a tin ear? With a long -y-sound. And a long -th. Like Blithe Spirit. Or Gilbert Blythe from Ann of Green Gables.

I can't hear the th in the video, sounds likes he says bli...but I would say the name with the th on the end, so another B-lie-th.

Also from Edinburgh

I’d say ‘th’ as in ‘this’ rather than ‘path’.

In my Scots accent I'm not sure I hear a difference between my 'bath" and my 'bathe' but if there is a difference then the "the' sound in Blyth is like in "bathe".

In the video I hear Bly

I would definitely say Bly -th with the th as in bathe

East coast Scotland

Bly-th like bath. West Lothian.

But ad an aside, as someone with a could be spelt one way or another name, if you’re unsure about pronunciations now, please think about your child going through life that way, and maybe find another name to love!

I need to watch this programme to find out how they say it 🙈 heard it mentioned loads

It kind of seems like English people are pronouncing the ‘the’ part like the video, whereas more Scottish people are likely to pronounce it with the ‘th’ at the end like bath, path etc. If I’m picking up what people mean in the comments 🙈

Originally Edinburgh accent but probably more just generically Scottish.

I'd say Bly (to rhyme with fly) th (like the beginning of the)

Honestly though I think the difference in pronunciation is so minor and hard to notice I don't think I'd pay it any mind. It's not like Lucia (loo see ah/loo chee ah. Where you'd need to assert a proper preference.

It's a lovely name.

The difference is the pronunciation of the 'y', isn't it? Rather than the th? So either Blythe to rhyme with writhe, or with the y pronunciation to make it the same sound as in write, so much more clipped? Possibly I'm now overthinking this too!

West coast scotland

id say Bly(rhyming with Fly) -Th

Yes I think you're probably right with this.
The way I say Bly-th the Y is long, like the A in bathe.

In that clip, Georde I think? the Y is very clipped

Bly=Fly
th=as end of with

But then I say Fry-day and used to get slagged off for it as my friends all said "Fri- as in fright- day" and they said I was posh..."oh FRY day!"

This is tricky. In Scotland and have a colleague with this as a surname. I’d say the Scottish pronunciation of that is Blyth which is what I think you mean but when I think of it as a first name I think Blythe like “blithe spirit” (i.e. rhymes with writhe)

I say it Bly to rhyme with fly and the "th" sound like in bath.

East coast of Scotland.
Bly(rhymes with fly)th( like start of them)

I don’t think it’s a different pronunciation so much as just different accents.

I would say it with a long vowel to rhyme with scythe, and am east coast. Most people around here would be the same. Most west coast I think would say it with a short vowel.

'Bly' (like fly) and then 'Th' (like thin without the in).

My 17 year old daughter is Blythe, and we've never had problems with people mispronouncing it. We live in Edinburgh, and have family in NE England for context.

This is how I would say it im Stirlingshire .the only Blyth I know is Blyth( e ) Smith who was was in Taggert and she definitely pronounced it with a short Th and emphasis on the Y
