[Opinions] Re: Tadhg
Tadhg is pronounced Ty-g like tiger without the g. If you want to name your son Teague you should name him Teague. I don't think most Americans would have a clue how to pronounce the name Tadhg, and it would be very unfair to a little boy to have to keep correcting people about his name. The Gaelic 'adh' diphthong pronounced as a y is not something Americans have a clue about,
and even scholars fight about that kind of thing. Tadhg is going to be pronounced Tad -hig more than Tyg. For more info on the name Tadhg go here http://www.iol.ie/~tadhgs/nametadhg.htm

I think you mean Ty-g (like tiger) without the "er" (minor typo)
