http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew Spiro Agnew was a vice-president of the USA. I think, his family was heard as the last sounds of the phrase "Is this bag new?".His father, Theodor Agnew, was born in Northern Greece and had a Bulgarian name, Agnev (coming from Bulg. AGNE meaning lamb). In Bulgarian, it is pronounced AHG-nef.

Definitely AGG-NEW. I had a friend of that name at school.
