Since his name is not very common in Spanish football, many fans have been wondering how to pronounce it correctly. In a recent interview with the club’s official media channel, as reported by SPORT, Bardghji took the opportunity to clarify the matter himself.
He explained that his first name, Roony, is pronounced “RONI” and his last name, Bardghji, is pronounced “BARDADJI.” SPORT has transcribed it phonetically as /βarðáʤi/.
