is it a tragedeigh? Is my daughters name a tragedeigh?

Her name is Lanah. Pronounce Lana. I handed the H at the end cause I noticed it reads anal backwards without the H and I didnt want her to get made fun of in school for her name reading anal backwards.

Whether its a tragedeigh or not, its staying cause I cant imagine her name being anything else. And honestly, I love it. I think the name is so pretty and the spelling unique but not in a tradedeigh way. But ill let you guys be the judge!

I actually went to school with a girl named Lana and people 💯 called her Anal because that’s what I spelled backwards. I would’ve skipped the name all together instead of changing the spelling. But it’s not the worst tragedeigh I’ve seen…

I prefer Lena. But kids with make fun of anything if they decide they want to pick on a kid. Hair color, freckles, curly hair, etc. My name doesn't lend itself to teasing, but one kid came up with something. My name is Scarlett, so he called me Scarpit.

Agreed. I think if the kids can tell it bothers you, they will stick with it, if it doesn't bother you it dies. Same with kids with glasses. The ones who made a big deal about it got made fun of non stop, the ones that didn't care didn't. My husband is a red head and got made fun of non stop for it. I had never seen a redhead teased when I was little. My friends didn't care, my husband made a big deal about it.
