Correct pronunciation of HAUGE
SeattleHaugeI have a question that has been bugging me for decades (I'm in my thirties). It's simple really....does anyone here know the correct pronunciation of the name HAUGE? Frighteningly, I know of several branches in our family that pronounce the name differently. Our branch goes by the pronunciation "Haig". Another branch goes by "How-gee". Another branch goes by "Hodge-ee". I'm sure there are others. Does anyone know a link where I can get the "true" pronunciation of the name, or can someone lend some expertise? -Sleepless in Seattle

espinoIt also depends on where in Norway your ancestors came from . There are many dialect variations, but I will say "how-gee" is far better than the other suggestions you have got! [8D]
