Trey05Marlins Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Is his last name pronounced Coff-lin or Cog-lin? Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've heard both, I think the later of your two is preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geemoney Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I gotta say Cog-lin. I've never heard Coff-lin, personally. Funny, I've never heard his name said, but my guess would've been Coff-lin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louiecastillo1 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I thought it was "Coff-lin" but Rich, Tommy, and Jack Mckeon have pronounced it "Cog-lin." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Always thought it's Cog-lin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I always thought gh together made an "f" kind of sound? Like Tough, Rough So i thought it was Coff-lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 gh make an "f" sound only when preceded by a "u", such as in your examples, "tough" and "rough". "ghost" isn't "fost", right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiManiac131 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitchingWinsGames Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 gh make an "f" sound only when preceded by a "u", such as in your examples, "tough" and "rough". "ghost" isn't "fost", right? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knglover Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I thought it was "Coff-lin" but Rich, Tommy, and Jack Mckeon have pronounced it "Cog-lin."Â 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dom2613 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all black marlins hat Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
