    Pretty much the Anglicised version, a bit more like HOO-go-nay;
although we get a lot of  huh-GON-net from the population at large.  A
lot of small children tend to call me Mrs. WHO-nay-nay.  My husband
likes that better ; )
My father-in-law, Ernest Henri Hugonnet (who was 1st generation French
and Swiss; he spoke no english until he was 7 years old), had a lovely
French pronunciation; unfortunately, I could not wrap my too American
tongue around it.
