How to pronounce surname Bage of Charles Bage? Blast furnace chip worker (talk) 10:56, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * However, I found the answer on You Tube. They say it is Charlz Beydzh. Blast furnace chip worker (talk) 11:01, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Not sure that I understand your notation, but this YouTube clip has it rhyming with "page" (which makes sense as its an English surname). Alansplodge (talk) 12:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I would pronounce "page" and the phonetic spelling "beydzh" as rhyming with each other. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:39, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, (I don't think of it having a "d" sound, but apparently everyone else does!).  Alansplodge (talk) 13:19, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Without the "d" sound in there, it would rhyme with "beige". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:24, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, my pronunciation of "beige" HAS the "d" sound. --Khajidha (talk) 16:29, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The joys of English! ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:01, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
