Re: Pronunciation of Swedish name "Signe"?

I went to college with a girl named Signe. She was American by birth and had a slight Texan accent, but she pronounced her name SEE-neh. I don't know whether this is the orthodox Swedish pronunciation, though.

That's the Danish pronunciation, at least.

Yep, that's right. With a silent 'g'. :-)
