[Opinions] Re: Eugenie
in reply to a message by Effie
It's pretty. I wouldn't use it though, because of the pronunciation difficulties. The British princess Eugenie has her name pronounced in totally different ways by different newsreaders, from English "yoo-JEEN-ee" to half-French "yoo-ZHAY-nee". I don't know how she actually pronounces it herself._____________________________________________________________________Elinor"Actually, guns do kill people. Ever tried slapping a person to death?"

I think she (well, her parents) pronounces it as kind of a mixture of the two. yoo-JAY-nee"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
