Help[Opinions] Iphigeneia
How do you pronounce Iphigeneia? All of the pronunciation comments for the name are different from each other. I guess I’m sort of leaning towards if-ih-gih-NAY-uh because the ‘eia’ part reminds me of Leia...but there’s also claims of if-ee-ye-nee-a and if-ih-JEN-ya.
So, which one’s correct? Or are they all correct? Which one do you personally use?
Please rate my lists. All of them are ratable except for the Main list and the Surname list. :)

I say it like "iffa-JEEN-ee-ya". No idea if that's correct, it's just what my brain naturally wants to do.

I pronounce it as if-i-JEE-nee-a. I'm most definitely pronouncing it wrong.

I’d say if-ih-GEN-i-a. At least, that’s the pronunciation I was taught in school.

I pronounce it ih-fi-jen-EYE-a, and I've no idea why. I think it's just what I came up with when I was twelve and reading Greek mythology. I'm probably wrong.

I adore this name, though I prefer the simpler Iphigenia, which I pronounce like Eugenia (roughly "if-ih-JEE-nee-uh"). I'd pronounce Iphigeneia as you're inclined to do.
