Whereabouts are you from? I have a Dublin colleague and two from out west but one has lighter accent than the other (I.e. one says Theo like English people do). So I have been able to realise three distinct Irish accents, although obviously never noticed it until one of them pointed it out. I’ll have to ask them how they say it.

From the north west, not far from Derry, but have mostly lived in Belfast since uni.

to further confuse @1101010, Doc is a common nickname for someone with the surname Doherty

Wait… Having listened to a pronunciation video I reckon both Anglicised versions are wrong since without the dock sound you tend not to have the “haw” in there at all so it’s more dough-erty which is too soft?

If I was adressing him directly, ‘Hommy’.
If I’m talking about him behind his back, ‘Hom’ all the way.
I like to think he knows. And that he knows that I know that he knows.
Which makes it all the more infuriating for him.

In other news I mercilessly correct people who cannot pronounce Sufjan as ‘Soofyawn’ but blatantly just say ‘Suffjunn’ when I’m on my own. And Justin Vernon can fuck right off if he thinks I’m saying ‘Bon Eve Air’ in public.

In my head I heard Kanye going “that’s Josh Homme, not Josh homie” like in Devil In A New Dress.

I can’t believe a quick search on google could have told me such slightly misleading information about the origins of the name Homme, but there you go.

I wonder if there’s much of an overlap of people who incorrectly pronounce Homme, Doherty, Bowie and spell whisky with a ‘e’. Twats in other words.

you’ve lost me now tbh

There’s no h sound at all. Seems you’re saying proper pronunciation should make that haw sound in it.

#54

there is a H sound.

#55

Yeah. Sorry, what I’m saying is my experience is that if people don’t say ‘dock’ they also don’t include the h sound. It’s closer to correct but it’s still not right I guess. /RoyWalker

I’m assuming TKC is referring to Lamacq, Mould is not an arsehole.
