I don’t know about you, but I have been pronouncing Chrissy Teigen’s name Tea-gen. Turns out I was wrong. Yesterday, she revealed that it actually pronounced Tie-gen like tiger. Her mother even backed her up, and I believe her mother.
I am blown away. It would be like finding out that it is Ariana Grand-ee, Judd Apa-tow like towel, Jeff Zucker like hooker or George Takei like gay. Who is next?
When it comes to Tie-gen, how does she feel about it? She said, “I don’t correct people, ever. They can call me Janet and I won’t. Wrong order? I’ll eat it. Taxi going to the wrong airport? I’ll change my flight.” In fact, she says she even correct people if they say Tie-gen.
