How do you pronounce 'Gigi'

Not considering it as a name, but am reading a book with a Gigi in it and it's really annoying me as I'm not sure how to say it.

Gigg-ee, Jee-Jee, zhee-zhee - or something else?

Gee gee and is it scruples? Grin

picnicbasketcase · 28/08/2012 22:56

Zhee-zhee I think Confused

LOL at hermionestranger. That jogged my memory!

The last one - it's a hard sound go write in English, like the way French people say Georges. They write our version as dgeorges.

LynetteScavo · 28/08/2012 23:01

Zhee-zhee, dahrling!

redpanda13 · 28/08/2012 23:04

zhee-zhee I have watched a lot of old musicals. Plus know someone who has named her French Bulldog Gigi and that is how she pronounces it.

Jheejhee

kimberlina · 28/08/2012 23:12

No - it's 'A Walk in the Park' by Jill Mansell (probably about on a par with Scruples in terms of serious literature!!) :o

Sort of between Jee-Jee and Zhee-Zhee.

EduCated · 28/08/2012 23:15

Ha! Thought it would be that book Grin Btw, Lara turns out to be a MI5 agent and Enjay is actually her long lost brother Wink

Definitely zhee-zhee, not gee-gee as in horse.

OneLittleToddlingTerror · 29/08/2012 10:45

I say it as gee gee. And it means the mens part down there in Taiwan. I was told at university and could never help but LMAO whenever I see the name.

HaveALittleFaith · 29/08/2012 19:27

Zhee-zhee like the French. My Mun wanted to call me that (she loved the film!) but my Grandma said people would call me Gee-Gee like the horses!

wigglesrock · 29/08/2012 19:39

another zhee-zhee.

ChristineDaae · 01/09/2012 10:03

The girl I knew was Gee-Gee. She was Chinese so now french pronunciation there!

squoosh · 01/09/2012 12:18

The film Gigi is all kinds of creepy.
