Think of a five-letter girl's name that ends in a "J" sound. Change that to a C sound to get a five-letter boy's name. What names are these?

[mallyh]

the only boys names I can think of are percy and darcy
girls names madge..marge ..

[dannyk13]

Marge & Marc?

[mallyh]

5 letters danny x

[dannyk13]

Oops

[camping]

Awkward isn't it? We can only think of Marge but that doesn't tally with the boys name.

I've been racking my brain here!
Paige got the 'j' sound. But boys name? There is a name Pacey, but not right is it? ;)

[ubasses]

Could be Patsy, if you type it as it sounds you have Paij and Pacee. It is the sound you are changing not the actual letter.

[pixie374]

The c sound is ck, I guess? Like the j sound. Phonetic and not the name of the letter?

[grasscarp]

How about Madge and Macey

[camping]

Not easy is it? Ah well I think it is going to keep us guessing for a while

[Patsy33]

Camping, is it a ck sound or c, as in see?

[pixie374]

It must be ck... otherwise the female name would have to end -jay. Only way it makes sense.

[grasscarp]

So you don't like Madge Ma with a J sound, and Macey (yes it is a boys name) Ma with a C sound?

[pixie374]

Marge is phonetic j. You should have to do the same with the C. Otherwise the name would be marjay. Not explaining well, I know, but surely you have to use both parts of the letters the same way

[pixie374]

Jay and see are the letter names. Juh and ck are phonetic. Which do we want?

[grasscarp]

Madge ends with a J sound. Not a J letter. so Ma dge (J)
Macey ends with a C sound. Ma cey (C)
Unless someone finds something better.

[Patsy33]

Pixie, that does make sense, I only wish it were confirmed,!

[pixie374]

I know... I can't explain it any better than that. Sorry x

[pixie374]

Thanks patsy... I know what I mean... lol

[grasscarp]

ok Pixie I see what you mean. Was thinking C cee and not ck and in cat. you are right. me wrong.
