Recently, Elon Musk and his partner Grimes have revealed their son’s name ‘X Æ A-12 Musk’. Although the couple said it will be pronounced as “Ex Ash A Twelve”, the phonetics for the name has left many people scratching their heads. <\/p>\n

Elon Musk’s son’s name consists of two parts – the letter ‘X’ and a combination of numbers and letters ‘Æ A-12’. The use of the letter ‘X’ as the english vowel sound ‘eks’ is relatively common – the name Max, pronounced as ‘Meks’ or the letter X in english, derived from the greek ‘Chi’ pronounced as ‘Ki’ – is an example of this. The difficult part is the letter ‘Æ’ and how it interacts with the numbers and letter ‘A-12’. <\/p>\n

According to linguists and phoneticians, the letter Æ, is a vowel sound ‘eh’. It is derived from the old english ‘Ash’ and is used in some english dialects. The letter A and number 12, will get together a special sound ‘ah’, which follows the ‘eh’ sound of the Æ, resulting in a name ‘Ex Eh Ah Twelve’, when spoken aloud. <\/p>\n

In the official statement from Elon Musk, the pronunciation given is ‘Ex Ash A Twelve’. The letter A in this phrase merges the ‘eh’ sound with the ‘ah’ sound, resulting in a blend between the two. Grimes has also given a similar pronunciation, so it is safe to conclude that this is the official pronunciation for the name. Although the name looks complicated, it is simpler than it looks and can be easily pronounced. <\/p>\n
