[Opinions] Re: "Unique" names from a volunteering event
Imogen is a normal name in Britain, not America. My American friend thought "what the heck is this" when she saw it. It was pronounced ee-mo-dzheen, which could be how the name is said, but I thought it would be ee-mo-gehn.

Interesting. I've heard it said i-mo-jehn (with I as in pig and J as in jump and the vowels both mostly schwas).
ih-muh-dzhuhn? (I write dzh for j because I'm more used to j being y)
Yeah, exactly
