How would you pronounce Eugenia?

I understand that the Yorks pronounce their daughter’s name differently from the usual way. Apparently her name is from one Queen Victoria’s daughters/granddaughter.

I think Princess Eugenie is pronounced You-Jane-E
I would pronounce eugenia as You-Jean-e-a

OK I must be pronouncing it very wrong - I'm bilingual and I think I'm kind of mixing the English and Portuguese ways.

Eugenie, I pronounce it like Eugene but with an i sound at the end. Kind of like "you genie"

Eugenia, I'd say it closer to "you-jenya" with a soft j sound.
