Re: DC naming Batman's home patch Gotham - isn't it just intended to echo gothIC, and hence to sound like a dark place? Notreallydavid 01:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The name Gotham City comes from its being based on New York City. It's impossible that Bob Kane eliminated the adjectival -ic morpheme from gothic and replaced it with the meaningless element -am to create a name that just happens to be a sobriquet for the very city he was emulating.

It is pronouced (gOAT)um —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.156.219 (talk) 19:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

--Above... the BobKane argument is irrelevant here, as this article isn't about the fictional Gotham, but rather the real Gotham (not a city by any means.) 75.186.111.99 (talk) 01:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Is it possible that Gotham is also sometime pronounced as Gottam, which in American English would sound somewhat like "goddam"? Please forgive me my ignorance. My mother tongue is German.--80.141.245.213 (talk) 13:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't make sense. Even if it were pronounced like you described, it still wouldn't sound like God damn since the -am part is not stressed in Gottam. --82.207.237.82 (talk) 00:21, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

• Gotham is pronounced Goathumm --palmiped |  Talk  16:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
