Does anyone know how to pronounce the name "Cagney"? Is it /kagni/ , /kagnei/ , /kogni/, kognei/ ??? Any of the above? It �s the name of the character from the book called "the Preswick �s family". |

The pronunciations in the link given by Sophia are the ones I normally expect to hear outwith most of Scotland and Northern Ireland. My own surname also ends in �ney (Scottish Gaelic) and we have a tendency to pronounce it /eɪ/ (the FACE set) rather than the /i:/ (the FLEECE set) which I can hear on the link. I �m wondering now if the Irish share the same pronunciation, given that Cagney is an Irish Gaelic name.
