Is his last name pronounced Coff-lin or Cog-lin? Or something else?

I've heard both, I think the later of your two is preferred.

I gotta say Cog-lin. I've never heard Coff-lin, personally.

I say Cog-Lin.

Chris CERG-LIN.

Funny, I've never heard his name said, but my guess would've been Coff-lin.

I thought it was "Coff-lin" but Rich, Tommy, and Jack Mckeon have pronounced it "Cog-lin."

Always thought it's Cog-lin.

I always thought gh together made an "f" kind of sound?

 

Like Tough, Rough

 

So i thought it was Coff-lin

gh make an "f" sound only when preceded by a "u", such as in your examples, "tough" and "rough".

 

"ghost" isn't "fost", right?

Spoken like a true English teacher... haha

The thing is, that is that a lot of people (including myself at times) spell it Coughlan, incorrectly of course... and that gives the Coff-lin thing...

 

but yeah, I've always heard it as Cog-lin

How about we just refer to him as our very own C.C.

Im sure with my weird and wonderful West of Scotland accent I can find another way of pronouncing it.

I thought it was "Coff-lin" but Rich, Tommy, and Jack Mckeon have pronounced it "Cog-lin."

 

If Jack Mckeon says it that way then it has to be wrong and therefore the proper way to say it would be smith or jones or some other name that sounds nothing like the spelling because we all know Jack is the foremost authority on names lmao

Steve would agree with you.

When i go to a ST this year and they announce him which i think they do at least sometines at the orioles place i ll listen. Those guys usually ask them before hand how they pronounce it.

They pronounce it Cog-lin. As well as a swimmer has the same last name and it was also pronounced Cog-lin. So one can only assume that's the proper way of pronouncing it.
