How do you pronounce the first-name Bregje?

You can't. It's a Dutch name and an American can't pronounce it. Just not going to happen.





edit: Okay I'll give it a try. The "g" is the biggest obstacle as usual.





"Bre" as in "Bred"


"g" as in.. well that's the problem, isn't it? Back of the throat, but softly, not like a cough. Ggggh. Maybe an emphatic "h" would work better.


"je" as in "yuh" (very softly)





I knew a girl with this name...

Reply:I think if you have to ask how to say it, you shouldn't use it for your child. You will constantly have to spell it for people or pronounce it at school and doctor's visits and such.
