That’s Nathan for you.
When your mom enunciates the Bruce, you know you’re in big trouble.
na than
Shorten it to “Than”, the “Na” is silent. I’d rather you pronounce the “Th” like “Thought” to say “Than” than “Than” like a typical “The” sound. When I was younger I had them call me “Thane”, that was “Than” with a nonexistent silent “E” that wasn’t on the end.
Is that sentence even readable?
“It’s spelled Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it’s pronounced ‘Throatwobbler Mangrove’.”
Now that’s a reasonable idea that won’t go out of hand!
It’s the name of the twin you absorbed in the womb.
Since when did the alien comic guy stray into microblogging?
Since forever I think, but tbh I only follow his comics so I don’t know what else is he writing about
I’m gonna guess since 2018 at least
New guy at work’s legal name is Emilejustin, and goes by Justin. Effectively the Emile is silent.
I used to work with a guy whose first name was Lordprince. His parents must have had high hopes for him.
I’ve had classmates named after large numbers, like trillion and billion.

I know only one sentence in gaelic: Tiocfaidh ár lá
… the “faidh” is silent. I wonder how many more words like that they have.I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition
The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough doesn’t contain any silent letters I think
