Answer 5

If it says pronounce like "tigue" then yes, it's like "teeg" ... However, I would want to say that it's "Tah-jeh" ... like a silent 'd'.  It's a pretty cool name actually!  Once we can figure out how to say it... :)

Answer 6

I'm from Ireland and i know quite a few Tadhgs.

Try saying 'Thai' without the 'th' sound, so now its 'tai'

now just add the 'g' so now its tai-g

Now you have it Tadhg!

It can also be spelled

Tadg or Taidgh

Hope This Helps!!

Answer 7
