Engo?

[Robinhoods]

Pronounced as Ehn - Jo ?

Perhaps Enjo is better?

Is there such a name or does it sound made up?

It sounds like a car model. Toyota Engo. Nissan Engo.

If you don't even know if it's a legitimate name, where have you plucked it from?

I thought it sounded like a dietary supplement, possibly for gut health.

Have you made it up, OP? Or is it a name from outside the UK (presuming that’s where you’re posting from).

It is bloody awful! You do know that you are naming a human being?

Well if you’ve never heard it before then you’ve made it up.
It’s not awful but it is a bit try hard in my opinion.
If you want the Jo sound then you need to spell it with a j.

Like Bojo?!

Do you mean Enzo?

I love an O ending boys name but this isn’t great. I automatically said it as En-go like the word go, not Jo.
You could think about
Enzo
Cosmo
Jago (which is go like the word)
Kenzo

Where did you hear it?

Have you considered Ivo?

Don't think it's a "real" name so to speak. Enzo is? Or Enyo, but that's a girl's name, she was a Greek goddess of war. But I've never heard Engo.

Well, there's Enyo, the English way of writing the name of a Greek goddess if war. In languages where 'j' is pronounced 'y' Enjo might be used as a name for a girl - haven't come across it, though.

We have an Enzo. We get asked a lot about his Spanish/Italian links, which is fine - he does have some! - but I’d expect it’d be a bit odd if you didn’t.

Its not pronounced like how you want this, though.

I have taught a few Enzo's in my time.

It's not nice, OP, sorry.
There are plenty of very nice well established names to choose from.

I love Ivo - that's a name.

I'm sorry, but Engo is dreadful. Nobody would think to pronounce the g as a j. It doesn't even sound like a proper word, never mind a name. There are so many other lovely, intelligible names about, some suggested on this this thread.

Ennio Moricone is an italian composer, similar but not made up?

Sounds a bit desperate.

Not a name! Don’t do it!

Sounds and looks made up. The g has nothing to make a j sound.

I'd think Enjo was pronounced En-yo

How about Ingo? (German name)

It's bloody awful. 0/10

I thought people would read it with j as it looks like Engine?

But thanks all! We will try think of a different one

All the words I can think of ending in -ngo have a hard G - lingo, bingo, jingo, mango, tango, flamingo
