How would you pronounce Eugenia?

[Cindie943811A]

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.

You-jean-ia

You-gene-ia

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.

You-jean-yuh

You-genie-ia

You-genie-ia

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

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

Yew jen ee uh

You - zheyn- ia

You-jean-eeah

The princess is Yew-zhen-ie I think?

I’ve no idea. The Russian variant is Yev-gen-i-a, but I’m not sure it translates readily.

Yew-Jane-ia (probs influenced by the Royals)

The Yorks’ daughter isn’t called Eugenia, though. Her name is Eugenie. The French version.

The one I know pronounces it you jen ee uh. I hesitate to refer to the word "eugenics" but similar to that.

God knows how I know this, but Eugenie has said her name is pronounced like ‘use your knees’.

I’d instinctively pronounce Eugenia like you-GEN-ya (not unlike eugenics 😬) but wouldn’t be surprised to hear a long E sound in the middle either.

Ew-JANE-ee-ah (Eugenia)

Ew-JAIN-ya or Ew-JEEN-ya

You-jean-ee-ah

Yoo-jee-nee-a

You-zhey-nia, with the emphasis on the "zhey".

This. I think this is how it's pronounced in Gone with the wind!

Ew-JAIN-ya that is

You genie ah

Ew-ZHEY-nee-ah

Sometimes in the UK it’s JAY rather than ZHEY but I have never heard it said GENE - I think that would be like pronouncing clerk phonetically
