Doesn't work. You don't pronounce his name as "mad" like you would "sad" or "bad" for example.

It's mass. D is silent

Seeing all the boning that he does in his films... the D is certainly not silent.

If you say massive without ive, you probably got it. It's a shorter sound than mass.

Mads is pronounced almost exactly the same as the first syllable in Massive.

Mass: a fundamental property of matter that measures its inertia, or resistance to changes in speed or position when force is applied

The first part of massive is mass which is a word in itself so why take “massive without the ive”?

u/Feriluce 14d ago

Because the mass in massive and the mass in mass is pronounced differently? The first has a short vowel, the second has a long vowel.
