Re: pronunciation of Imogene
Thanks, Llewella. I'm confused about where the emphasis is I guess. Is the emphasis only on the first syllable, or is it on the first and last syllable? Pronouncing it with only the first syllable stressed seems awkward to me.

I stress the first and second, I guess. I pronounce it as you have done above.Imogene is IMM - AH - Jean.Imogen is IMM -oh- Jen.
