Am I pronouncing Imogen correctly?

[butternut234]

Just wanted to double check how Imogen is pronounced as read somewhere that someone said the last 'e' is as in 'egg' but that would make Imogen sound like Imo-jen but I thought it wasn't the same sound as 'Jen' in 'Jennifer' and I thought it was more Im-uh-jun (the 'jun' isn't right, I think I mean more like the way the e is pronounced in 'ern' but a very short sound so without the 'r' bit really. And the main stress being on the Im.

Am I wrong? Hard to explain...

I'd say Imuh-jin but I suspect it depends on your accent (am Scottish).

Actually it's probably a sound between Ima and Imuh when I say it.

It can be either ybh- I have heard both more than once.

I personally prefer jen

I am lazy and would use two schwas

Ooo I just looked on wikipedia at the phonetic spelling and looks like it is the e at the end of roses and at the start of emission

Think that's right, as when I think about it I don't pronounce the roses one as an 'egg' sound it's more of an 'er' or 'i' or 'uh' sound, and that's prob how I pronounce the e in emission too.

Do you think that's right? I really like the name but would feel pretty stupid if I chose it then said it incorrectly.

jun. immerjun.

however my jamaican mate says eye-mer-jeen

no one minds though

yes that's what I meant, Immerjun. That's how I say it - thanks
