Help[Opinions] Re: Evgenia
in reply to a message by Tuesday
I pronounced it ev-GEN-yah upon seeing it, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.
I like it much better than Eugenia - never liked Eugenia much. Eulalia, Euphemia, Eudoxia are great, as is Eugene, but Eugenia is just - ugh. (Observe my mighty powers of wording. I can't finish a sentence without having to resort to crude not-actually-words. Not-actually-words, yes, which technically cannot be used as a noun. And I'm fragmenting, and starting setences with "and" - it's hopeless.)
Upon seeing Evgenia, I actually thought of Iphigenia before thinking of Eugenia. I love Iphigenia.
ETA: Other posters said it's pronounced ev-yen-ee-a - I like that. For nicknames maybe Eeny, Nia, Ven, Yen, Vine, Vee?
