HelpRe: Eugenie
in reply to a message by Andromache
This reminds me of when Princess Eugenie of York was born. My sister, who has always been somewhat "into" the British royals, heard the birth and the name announced on the radio.
She called me and said, "Have you heard what Andrew and Fergie named their baby?" I said, "No, what?" She said, "OO-ZEN-EE." I said, "What?" She said, "OO-ZEN-EE." I said, "What the heck is that?" She replied, "Have you ever heard that name before?" I said, "No, it's totally weird." She said, "I never have either."
Well, at some point we realised that the name was Eugenie. However, we both pronounce it U-JANE-EE, and the pronunciation she had heard on the radio was totally foreign to us, so foreign that we didn't even connect it to the name Eugenie.
Anyway, I really like it, but only pronounced U-JANE-EE. OO-ZEN-EE still sounds totally weird to me.
