Help[Opinions] I prefer Eugenie (m)
in reply to a message by KDen20
The name of the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York who got some attention recently for streaking at school.
I thought it was pronounced YOO-jean-ie, which I was never crazy about, but it has been growing on me lately, only because it is one of those names that is attractive in its ugliness - if that makes sense. And in a sea of Isabella's it really seems refreshing.
But I just looked up Eugenie here at discovered it is a French name which is actually pronounced uu-zhay-NEE, which I absolutely love. I am crazy about uu-zhay-NEE, which fits my search for a spunky, stand-out name.
Still for practical reasons, I would avoid Eugenie for a kid growing up in an English speaking area because of the pronunciation issues. That’s the only reason Eugenie is not on my PNL.
Eugenia - I would pronounce yoo-jean-ee-ah or yoo-jean-ah.
