#FridayFive: Mispronunciations of Gagne

How hard is it to say my name?

#FridayFive: Mispronunciations of Gagne

For reasons I have never been able to understand, people have a ridiculously hard time reading my last name. I can get it if you’re unfamiliar with the French pronunciation – GAHN-yay – but the Americanized version – GAG-knee – is pretty straightforward if you have even a passing understanding of phonics.

Here are the five most common mispronunciations I hear, usually from telemarketers:

  • GAY-nje
  • GAG-non
  • GAG-en
  • GAHN-jee
  • GAY-juh
