I’m new to this alphabet thing

On the phone just now, verifying my account with Bluehost.com, my new hosting overlords:

Nice lady: Domain?
Me, groggily: theogeo.com. That’s t-h-e-o-g-e-o-dot-com.
Nice lady: Okay, b-o-g-o, that’s b as in “boy”—
Me, groggily: No, ah, t-e-o … t as in … … uh … “tea”?!
Nice lady: Oh, t as in “tiger”?
Me, groggily: Yes!
Nice lady: Okay, t-e-o-g-e-o—
Me, groggily: Crap. There should be an h in there too.
Nice lady: Okay. Where?
Me, groggily: t-h-e-o-g-e-o. Sorry! I just woke up. I haven’t had coffee yet.
Nice lady: *polite laughter*
