HelpRe: Geoffrey
in reply to a message by erb816
I know someone in the States with this name. He pronounces it like Joffrey too. It's quite annoying. He is usually called Geoff (joff). I think his parents were trying to be upper-class.
It's even more striking because he is one of those hipster fellows who wears a long beard and bald head (by choice), with retro faded clothes from the second-hand store. It's a look, so whatever... but it definitely clashes when you say "Hey, Geoff!".
I think if he was actually named Joff, it would make so much more sense!
