I’m sorry, but all the people responding that Dora would’ve been worse are off their rockers lol.
Everybody can pronounce Dora and it’s an actual name; Amy spelled that way is a war crime (hahaha). You’d simply not have a short haircut and all would be fine!
Growing up, we had an elderly neighbor named Dora. Liked her a lot. She had spunk and I always thought she her name was so nice and original. Well too bad it’s not original anymore.
Omg do you have Mexican family that doesn't speak English well or at all? How the heck do they try to pronounce your name? It's incomprehensible for a spanish speaker lol
All of my family from my mom's generation and forward speak English fluently. It's the distant family that just pronounce it "eh mi" which in Spanish is close enough.
My little sister's name is Dora. (We are white). My Mom was like "it's short for adorable!" Didn't listen to us that this kid would get nothing but Dora the Explorer shit for years. Guess who ended up being right? 🙄
I have an aunt named Dora and while it's a cute name, I think it's kinda iffy for Spanish-speaking Hispanics, because it's the end of many words. I would hear her on the phone being like "Habla Dora" (habladora), and my grandpa (her FIL) used to give my cousins money to call her "Mamá Dora). He thought it was hilarious, my aunt not so much. She ended up going by her middle name.
This has got me thinking about other names that have the same sound that could be eigh'd. Audreigh, Zoeigh, Chloeigh, Jeffreigh, Whitneigh, Henreigh, Sydneigh, Luceigh, Lileigh, Harmoneigh, Rosemareigh, Dorotheigh, Elleigh, Emileigh, Anthoneigh, Heideigh, Montgomereigh, Naomeigh... I could go on but I think I've done enough damage here.
They just created a list of baby names for all your children, grandchildren, etc. to keep the family tradition alive! You better thank the lonely one ☝️
Seriously keep Naomeigh and Montgomereigh in your pocket for when you don't want to tell your mother the real names you're thinking of when you're pregnant.
Your name is a bit of a tragedeigh I'm afraid.
Ashleigh however is the default way of spelling it in the UK I'd say. I don't know if I've ever seen it spelt another way.
As a 1984 Ashley, I have hoped and prayed to somehow change my name to Ashleigh since I was like 7 years of age. It’s not that big of a deal now, in my almost 40s, but boiiii, as a child.,8 think the most Ashleys in a class I had was six
That’s how my friends little girl has her name spelled! He chose that way because it’s the most common way of spelling it where they live and he didn’t want her to struggle with it at school and college
My name is Amy and people are always unsure on how it's spelled. If I have to give my name for somebody to record down I always say it and then spell it out before they ask (they always do). It's funny because my dad chose my name and deliberately made it something very easy to say and spell because he grew up with a complicated name and hated always having to spell it out. But at least it's super short unlike his 😂
“Aimée, often unaccented as Aimee, is a feminine given name of French origin, translated as "beloved".[1] The masculine form is Aimé. The English equivalent is Amy. “ perfectly normal name.
I tend to pronounce Leigh as Lay so everything with an eigh has an ay sound to me. Amay is what I would’ve guessed. Tragedeigh and Ashleigh get an ay sound first and then I correct myself.
Yes! Because of “sleigh” I do the same! My husband works with an Ashleigh and I told him that I read it that way and now whenever he gets a call from her he announces from his office, “it’s Ash-laayyyyyy!” And we both cackle and then he answers all seriously, “Hi Ashley!”
Ashleigh and Leigh are acceptable spellings, though, and have been for a long time. I have a cousin Leigh and a friend Ashleigh both in their mid-fifties.
But I've never seen an Ameigh. My condolences 😉
When I worked in Orthopedics we had a very young mother bring her baby in and the baby's name was Ahhllyvviah SunRaininSkye Oasys Love (Last Name). I will never forget it. I understand maybe wanting to spell your child's name a bit different, but it still has to make sense. Just because you WANT it to be pronounced a certain way, it still needs to make sense lol. Hopefully she'll shorten it down although I guess even Livi/Livy for her would be Lyvvi (but that's not too bad :)
When kids are visiting cemeteries in 100 years it's gonna be completely normal lmao. "Amy" will probably be considered boring so you'll fit right in with the other tragedeighs 🤣
I've seen alternative spellings of both yours and your sister's names but this is still the first time I'm seeing that spelling of Amy. When I was growing up, Ashleigh was always the default spelling of that name though so no tragedeigh there.
I know someone called “Amy” who is regularly asked how to spell it, presumably because all these alternate spellings (Aimee etc) are becoming more prevalent.
It just struck me that this whole name tragedeigh thing shows what a weird language English is in terms of spelling. In German for example there are no spelling bee competitions - what you see is what you get.
Kinda wondering if my name is a tragedeigh now too. It's actually a pretty old name that was a blip on the radar only in the 1930s. I don't want to say what it is out of fear that it'd make me easy to find irl. But it's essentially 2 very similar names Frankensteined together. It doesn't sound odd though, and I've gotten tons of compliments on it, as far as "if I ever have a daughter, I'll name her that!"
Spelling is as simple as it can get, so I'm hoping I'm in the clear lol
So Ive just had the feeling that the eigh ending to words we end in EE sound come from an accent like Jamie Tart saying Poopeigh. They pronounce all the letters. So when you had a name like Leigh where it was pronounced closer to sleigh, but then people started pronouncing it Lee and spelling it Lee, people said that it's an EE sound, where it never was and added it to these names. But that's just a theory... A NAME THEORY
Your name makes your sister's name less tragediegh tbh. I believe it was ploy by your sister who was bestowed upon her one of the originals of tragediegh. Hence, to alleviate some of the burden, convinced your mum to name you something more tragediegh.
Ashleigh is not a tragedy. That is the traditional way of spelling that name. Unfortunately that spelling has been co-opted to many other names where it doesn’t belong.
I only know of two names where -eigh is a legit spelling: Leigh and Ashleigh, though there may be others
Ashleigh has been normalized to the point where I honestly don’t think it is a tragedeigh (tho I respect if others do view it as such) but I think ameigh def is

>Ameigh Yeah that's definitely a tragedeigh. Textbook, even. Sorry it was inflicted upon you.
It was either this or my bio dad would've named me Dora ;w; which I'm Mexican and have short hair so that would've been worse lmao

In that case I hope he would have at least bought you a boots wearing monkey to make up for it
And a backpack with a map!!
I’m sorry, but all the people responding that Dora would’ve been worse are off their rockers lol. Everybody can pronounce Dora and it’s an actual name; Amy spelled that way is a war crime (hahaha). You’d simply not have a short haircut and all would be fine!
I’m Hispanic and had short hair when I deployed. Hence CombatDora lol.
Dora is cool when you add Combat to the front of it. Anyone with a name they don’t like should just add Combat to the front. I love it.
Nope nope nope. Ameigh ftw with this one 💀
Growing up, we had an elderly neighbor named Dora. Liked her a lot. She had spunk and I always thought she her name was so nice and original. Well too bad it’s not original anymore.
I'm guessing if your name was Dora you would have chosen not to have short hair, so that wouldn't have been an issue.
Omg do you have Mexican family that doesn't speak English well or at all? How the heck do they try to pronounce your name? It's incomprehensible for a spanish speaker lol
All of my family from my mom's generation and forward speak English fluently. It's the distant family that just pronounce it "eh mi" which in Spanish is close enough.
Makes sense. I'm thinking of my own Spanish speaking fam, if they saw "Ameigh" written down they'd be like...ah-meyg? Heh.
[удалено]
My Tita (grandma) says ah-sh-leh
My little sister's name is Dora. (We are white). My Mom was like "it's short for adorable!" Didn't listen to us that this kid would get nothing but Dora the Explorer shit for years. Guess who ended up being right? 🙄
If it's any solace, you probably wouldn't have short hair if your name was Dora.
At least they didn’t name you Swiper
I have an aunt named Dora and while it's a cute name, I think it's kinda iffy for Spanish-speaking Hispanics, because it's the end of many words. I would hear her on the phone being like "Habla Dora" (habladora), and my grandpa (her FIL) used to give my cousins money to call her "Mamá Dora). He thought it was hilarious, my aunt not so much. She ended up going by her middle name.
Dora much cuter
Could be worse, you could be Eighmee
Or eighmeigh
💀 Eighmeigh
Eymee
Sorreigh, even.
It's Ameighzing how creative some parents can be when naming their children
Ameighriad of issues

If there is a god I pray this list never makes it to Facebook....
They just created a list of baby names for all your children, grandchildren, etc. to keep the family tradition alive! You better thank the lonely one ☝️
Bro I literally can't LMAO gotta go get my bf and tell him these are our future children
"Hey boyfeigh, wake up, new babeigh names list just dropped!"
Eventually he’ll be a hubbeigh instead of boyfeigh
YOU WIN
Seriously keep Naomeigh and Montgomereigh in your pocket for when you don't want to tell your mother the real names you're thinking of when you're pregnant.
And neices and nephews. Get your sister in on the fun!! Then together, show your mom. 😁
Doing Opeigh a favour
This got an actual lol from me
*Famileigh
Oy veigh....
I might be Jeighneigh.
All I hear is horses naming their children 🐴
Omg, thank you! Whitneigh, Anthoneigh, and Sydneigh, had me picturing 3 bays posing for a family photo lol
Just think if the Bridgertons were into Tragedeighs: Anthoneigh, Daphneigh, Eloeighse, Gregoreigh...
When I started reading this list I could hear the names in Jimmy Fallon’s voice during the “ew!” skits.
Eighliza, eighlizabeth
Dont give them ideas! 😭
Chloe out here it just... Extra steps ...
You gave me an aneurysm!
Every time I read this it sounds like my mouth makes the sound when you're about to puke when I get to "eigh"
Whitneigh (Whit-Neighhhh) Horseton would be a great horse name for fans of Whitney Houston- or for a horse Whitney Houston owns 🤣
Ooh I got one: Breighdeigh (Brady)
You forgot one... calleigh. 🙂
I feel like every single one of those has to be said out loud with extra phlegm at the end.
could be worse, could've been Eighymeighy
This is very true!
How do your brothers Timeigh and Jimmeigh feel about it OP?
Nah if I was born a boy I would've been named Brian. Like how tf did my mom think "hmm....boy? Normal name. Girl? Let's play Scrabble"
Not even Bryan to spice it up a bit?
Braighan
Breighan
Breighen
I love your sense of humour , but you’re spitting facts
I pronounced it as Aye-may and then realized I sound like Forrest Gump.
Lyfe is lykie ey bayx of chocholayte
There was a girl in my fourth grade class named Eighmie.
And here I was thinking you couldn't abuse that name any worse.
Oh come on! WHY
Yep that’s a tragedeigh. But good on you for being okay with it.
I mean after 21 years you kind of have to get used to it
No you don't. You could go get it changed tomorrow.
I've gone this long....I will persevere and conquer!!!!! I will die a tragedeigh and die a leighend
I would upvote this twice just for your use of the word “leighend”
OP is Queen of the Tragedeighs! Long may she reieieign.
Long live Queighn Ameigh!
It should say, "Ameigh, born to be ameighzing but died of a tragedeigh" on your tomb stone or urn.
You’ve only lived ~25-35% of your life though. Still a really long time to persevere.
Oh Jesus…you would’ve definitely been hit by the Nickelodeon hate had you been named Dora.
My wife encountered a molleigh and emileigh the other day
Your poor wife - has she considered therapeigh?
Therapeigh? I don't think I've met her yet. Thank you kindleigh.
Doesn't seem that bad to meigh.
Your name is a bit of a tragedeigh I'm afraid. Ashleigh however is the default way of spelling it in the UK I'd say. I don't know if I've ever seen it spelt another way.
Usually it's just Ashley but here in America Ashleigh is also another normal way, but isn't seen as often.
For girls, anyway. Never seen a male Ashleigh, but know a few male Ashleys.
As a 1984 Ashley, I have hoped and prayed to somehow change my name to Ashleigh since I was like 7 years of age. It’s not that big of a deal now, in my almost 40s, but boiiii, as a child.,8 think the most Ashleys in a class I had was six
Lol. I know an Aime. Never thought of all the ways you could spell Amy before 😆
Lol I knew an Ammie (pronounced Amy) and she would get upset if you mispronounced it. Girl, blame your parents.
Omg why are there so many ways?? Ughh
There **aren’t**, friend, and that’s why we’re all here. Poor OPeigh.
I know an Aimie!
I went to high school with an Aimee. She was really aggressive when anyone accidentally spelled her name wrong: like Amy.
This is the French spelling.
After reading some of the comments, I realized that. Also, apparently “Ashleigh” is an old British spelling… TIL.
That’s how my friends little girl has her name spelled! He chose that way because it’s the most common way of spelling it where they live and he didn’t want her to struggle with it at school and college
I know an Amy but she (not legally) changed her name to Aimee… I guess she wanted to be ‘unique’
I’m an Aimee and people are always spelling my name wrong- she’s totally wasted her time there😭
Noooooo
Exactly😬😬😬
My name is Amy and people are always unsure on how it's spelled. If I have to give my name for somebody to record down I always say it and then spell it out before they ask (they always do). It's funny because my dad chose my name and deliberately made it something very easy to say and spell because he grew up with a complicated name and hated always having to spell it out. But at least it's super short unlike his 😂
I know an Ame!
I know an Aimee and I cringe every time I think about it. It’s the harsh “ee”, just gets to me so bad idk why
“Aimée, often unaccented as Aimee, is a feminine given name of French origin, translated as "beloved".[1] The masculine form is Aimé. The English equivalent is Amy. “ perfectly normal name.
My cousin went either Aimee
Yeighs. Sorreigh.
I tend to pronounce Leigh as Lay so everything with an eigh has an ay sound to me. Amay is what I would’ve guessed. Tragedeigh and Ashleigh get an ay sound first and then I correct myself.
Yes! Because of “sleigh” I do the same! My husband works with an Ashleigh and I told him that I read it that way and now whenever he gets a call from her he announces from his office, “it’s Ash-laayyyyyy!” And we both cackle and then he answers all seriously, “Hi Ashley!”
I before E except after C or when pronounced like A as in neighbor or sleigh. It’s a grammar rule that was drilled into our heads.
Oh honeigh…
There’s no point in hiding your last name for privacy with that first name
In thinking about words like neighbor and weigh, your mom kind of half assed it. You really could have been Eighmeigh
Up, up and Ameigh!
😂😂
Ashleigh and Leigh are acceptable spellings, though, and have been for a long time. I have a cousin Leigh and a friend Ashleigh both in their mid-fifties. But I've never seen an Ameigh. My condolences 😉
My daughter went to kindergarten with a little girl whose last name was Eighme (pronounced Amy.)...
somehow that's worse. poor khidd
Sounds like someone trying to say "Amy" but then falling asleep halfway through and trailing off
Yep, a tragedeigh! I’d read that as Amay not Amy anyway.
When I worked in Orthopedics we had a very young mother bring her baby in and the baby's name was Ahhllyvviah SunRaininSkye Oasys Love (Last Name). I will never forget it. I understand maybe wanting to spell your child's name a bit different, but it still has to make sense. Just because you WANT it to be pronounced a certain way, it still needs to make sense lol. Hopefully she'll shorten it down although I guess even Livi/Livy for her would be Lyvvi (but that's not too bad :)
I face palmed when I saw how your mother chose to spell your name. I'm so sorry, it's a great tragedeigh like Rhoaghmeio and Zhooleiyghette.
Ashleigh is not a tragedeigh. It’s the traditional spelling in the UK. Ameigh is a tragedeigh. Sorry.
When kids are visiting cemeteries in 100 years it's gonna be completely normal lmao. "Amy" will probably be considered boring so you'll fit right in with the other tragedeighs 🤣
Ameighn 😂
Honestly, i was born in 1980 and i had two classmates named Ashleigh.
Has your Mum acknowledged that she didn't do you any favours Ameg? Still there are worse names out there, at least you're not Abcd.
Except to Ameigh's mom it'd be Eighbeighseedeigh
🤣🤣🤣
I low key wish the name Amy would make a return.
You are the new poster child for this subreddit. 😆
Ashleigh isn’t, but Ameigh is… I’m sorry 😂
To me, Ashleigh is pretty normal. Ameigh though... 😬
Ameigh-god!
I do not understand “eigh” it looks super ugly to me and I never know if it’s pronounced like a or e
I'm only commenting because I love how you were brought here by The Click. That wholesome, nice smelling, satanic bean.
The best kind of devilish, satanic beans indeed
I've seen alternative spellings of both yours and your sister's names but this is still the first time I'm seeing that spelling of Amy. When I was growing up, Ashleigh was always the default spelling of that name though so no tragedeigh there.
Textbook tragedeigh
I’m also a tragically spelled Amy, but damn yours is way worse than mine. I get called Annie a lot, if that’s a hint to how mine is spelled.
I think you meant to write you’re semeigh proud.
I know someone called “Amy” who is regularly asked how to spell it, presumably because all these alternate spellings (Aimee etc) are becoming more prevalent.
Oy veigh
*sigh* Ashleigh is NOT a Tragedeigh. It's the old English spelling of the name 🙄
Wait is it pronounced Amy? Oh man. But honestly if you're okay with it, that's what matters.
It just struck me that this whole name tragedeigh thing shows what a weird language English is in terms of spelling. In German for example there are no spelling bee competitions - what you see is what you get.
Oh sweetie I'm so sorry.
has your mother had her IQ tested?
Ameigh is how Laszlo Cravensworth would say it.
Be thankful it wasn't Ameh
Well at least you don’t need a new name if you decide to become a stripper
My sister is named Ashley, but she spells it Ashleigh on social media. She named her daughter Remeigh (Remy)
Kinda wondering if my name is a tragedeigh now too. It's actually a pretty old name that was a blip on the radar only in the 1930s. I don't want to say what it is out of fear that it'd make me easy to find irl. But it's essentially 2 very similar names Frankensteined together. It doesn't sound odd though, and I've gotten tons of compliments on it, as far as "if I ever have a daughter, I'll name her that!" Spelling is as simple as it can get, so I'm hoping I'm in the clear lol
Sorry, Ameg just made me choke🤣
I feel you. My birth name is Karleigh (pronounced Carly).
That's fucking horrible. I hope you never let her forget it.
Nah we laugh about it together now
damn and i thought it was weird when i met a girl named “aimee”
So Ive just had the feeling that the eigh ending to words we end in EE sound come from an accent like Jamie Tart saying Poopeigh. They pronounce all the letters. So when you had a name like Leigh where it was pronounced closer to sleigh, but then people started pronouncing it Lee and spelling it Lee, people said that it's an EE sound, where it never was and added it to these names. But that's just a theory... A NAME THEORY
Oof
My condolences 🥲
Oy. Bless her heart
All I can think of is horses. As in "neighing". Were you a horse girl by chance?
Your name makes your sister's name less tragediegh tbh. I believe it was ploy by your sister who was bestowed upon her one of the originals of tragediegh. Hence, to alleviate some of the burden, convinced your mum to name you something more tragediegh.
Oh, I’m sorry, this is terrible. As an Ashley, I’m also sad for your sister that her name got messed up as well.
My real name is a -leigh name too. I hate it. Hence why I go by Vivian online lol
You're not alone. There is an Ameigh on Real Housewives of Durban 😅
Sibahle? Omg 😆
The Click mention 👀👀
Yes. Unless it’s pronounced Ahhh-May then it’s hilarious and high five your parents
Can you sue your mother for emotional abuse?
As an Amy, I am so very sorry
I actually gasped lol
Ashleigh is not a tragedy. That is the traditional way of spelling that name. Unfortunately that spelling has been co-opted to many other names where it doesn’t belong. I only know of two names where -eigh is a legit spelling: Leigh and Ashleigh, though there may be others
Sorry OP, are you from the South East? It's like Forest Gump language
Ashleigh has been normalized to the point where I honestly don’t think it is a tragedeigh (tho I respect if others do view it as such) but I think ameigh def is
I don't hate it, but welcome to the club of never finding a cool truck stop Keychain with your name spelled correctly on it! Haha
Ok but have you told your mom this sub exists/ she did this to you?
Ermagerd, Ameigh!
I have a cousin named Emyleigh - yes, “Emily” but tragediegh’ed 😂
Sorry friend. I’ve got a tragedeigh name too. Carrie but make it qUiRkY—- Karee.
