A of all, it’s spelled Teigen. And B, there are way too many exceptions to that rule to make it worth following. Like if the word is German in origin, ei is pronounced eye, ie is pronounced ee.

People almost always first call me by a diminutive of my name (which is an entirely different name, but much more common) because they mishear it no matter how clearly I enunciate. Most people stop when I correct them, except for one woman who I’ve had to correct EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 TIME 👏 for years. I’m glad I don’t

I definitely thought it was “Bad Barbie” until this very article.

::raises hand::

You’re applying American rules to a name of German origin, which follows the opposite rules. And on top of that the article is misspelling her name in the first sentence.

Thank you for the clarification re: Bhad Bhabie. I wasn’t sure if it was Bad Baby or Bad Barbie with a Boston accent.

YES! That’s how I read it. 

Except it’s Teigen.

Sheesh. LL Cool J always introduces her as ‘teegen’, which is the guide I used. When your professional colleagues don’t get it right, what hope is there?!?

Also related: “I hardly recognized her as Madonna,” Lt. Bill McSweeney said at the time. “She was weeping, her lip was bleeding and she had obviously been struck.”

You mean a dude who once tied his wife to a chair and beat the shit out of her for 8+ hours doesn’t think Me Too is valid? I’m SHOCKED.

Wait, no I’m not.

This is somehow more earth-shattering than learning Bhad Bhabie is pronounced “bad baby”

Me too! One of the problems is that her name is easily misspelled...

I’ve been pronouncing it right, by accident. I had to take German in school growing up so whenever I see ‘ei’ I always pronounce it the German way (eye) by default. 

Say it again for the folks in the back! Sean Penn is the worst!

The 21-year-old who does my lash extensions told me this summer that Bhad Bhabie was pronounced bad baby, and here I always thought Bhabie was supposed to be pronounced Barbie. I feel old.

Dear Sean Penn:

Had a great conversation just last night about how important men are to the #metoo movement, have also had great conversations with my male boss about misogyny in the legal field and his role and responsibility in actively promoting our female associate including language and perceptions.
