MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The latter one is the most common pronounciation for me. At least it's how he was pronounced in several LPs and how I pronounce him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geek Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 How game of thrones says it The GoT character's name is Joffrey, not Geoffrey. Geoffrey is pronounced the same as Jeffrey. My uncle is named Geoffrey so I should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDestr0yer61 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Radiant Dawn pronounces it as Joffrey, so that is how I pronounce it. Although if the game didn't pronounce it like that, I would pronounce it like Jeffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It can be either Joffrey or Jeffrey, I've heard both. I say the latter though, because I'm more used to it. xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 i always thought it was jeffrey or is it jee-off-frey My brother's name is Geoffrey and it's pronounced "Jeff-rey". He gets SUPER peeved when people say "Jee-off-rey". I didn't even know that was a way to say the name until people started calling him that, it honestly doesn't even sound like a name the later. That one of the reasons why he prefers to go by Aaron instead now... Also, I just created a thread for this sort of thing, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Joff-rey Going by the katakana in my case, since I go by that when the names are the same, more or less Also it just sounds better to me than Jeffrey ~o3o~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet_Basil Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Gee-OH-Fraythat's how I say it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yeah I knew a dude named Geoffrey and it was pronounced "Jeffrey." No idea why the narration says Joffrey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonarbow Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Like the name Jeffrey, Geoffrey is just an alternate spelling for that name, it's not a different name or anything. I know a Geoffrey so it makes me angry hearing so many say it otherwise. I think Geo- is the more common spelling over here anyway. The RD Narrator was told to say it like the Japanese, or so I'd heard, even if that meant it wasn't right. I dunno if I've ever heard of an English speaking person whose name was Geoffrey having it said any other way (apparently in other languages it can be Joffrey with that spelling).

Paper Jam Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I thought that katakana would be pronounced "JOE-fray". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) It would be elongated in that case. ジョーフレー or ジョウフレー It's short. Like how Flynn is フレン (Fu-re-nn) Edited August 1, 2016 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Jam Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) If the final syllable is "ri," then why isn't the final katakana "ri"? Edited August 1, 2016 by Paper Jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Because its katakana. Just like Joshua is "Yoshua". See that "Flynn" example. Edited August 2, 2016 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex95 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm honestly surprised this topic is still going on mine died.It really depends on where they are from (or how you pronounce it from where you're from). While the katakana may spell it "Jee-off-ree" (assuming I'm reading it correctly), my brother's is spelled the same but is pronounced "Jeff-ree," like the other spelling "Jeffrey." gay-off-ray My brother would get so mad at you...

shadowofchaos Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Interesting. I thought katakana was pronounced the same way it was spelled.It depends on the spelling of the language you're referring to.In some cases it's the "hard" sound for the kana even though it's "soft" for the language it comes from.
