HelpRe: Eugenie
in reply to a message by Andromache
Well, I don't hate it, but it seems like a nickname to me. Is there more than one pronunciation? I only know of the u-zhe-NEE one.

I've heard/seen: 'YOO-jen-ee', 'yoo-zhen-EE' and 'yoo-JEE-nee'.

Oh, thanks, I've never heard those. I still like u-zhe-NEE best. :)

Just out of curiosity, do you think that pronunciation would be usable in English-speaking countries?

I think it would. While I don't live in an English-speaking country, I don't live in a French-speaking one either, and I've never seen any problems with Eugénie. There was one in my class one year. Most teachers pronounced her name "oy-GEN-ye" at first, but only that one time. They always pronounced it the right way after she had corrected them.
Or maybe my teachers were just really dumb, because some also kept on calling me Daniel instead of Daniela, despite my being obviously female.
