I pronounce it exactly as you do, "HUGH-gin", but even if that is not the correct pronounciation, I always going to call it by that, just as I pronounce "JagerMech" as 'Jagger-Mech' (have done since I was first reading BT (none of that recyclcled 'classic' B.S>).
It is just another of my little foibles and somewhat happy about that one (psych unit, here I come).


heh, i always pronounced huginn correctly and to pronounce it as huggin i should make a special effort (actually i always want to pronounce hug as hoog too, because you know, why cannot you damn spell it phonetically ><)... i read about those ravens back then when i was a kid and my native language (russian) has names spelled phonetically so we always know the proper (the most established) way to pronounce the name... yeah, it's hoo-gin, gin as in begin not like in gin (alcoholic drink) btw

It's been bugging me for as long as I have ever seen them. They're pesky critters and everyone seems unsure how to pronounce the name, which adds to the hilarity when people pause giving it another second or so to get away.

I've usually pronounced it "HUGH-gin" (hard g on the gin part) aka hyugin, other people pronounce it like "hugging." My reasoning was that it was probably a name and naming a mech after hugging was kind of silly, unless it was a brawling mech meant for hugging, which the Huggin is not.

I think when I looked before I found this is one hero that is only in MWO and not in Lore, so I could find no authoritative information on it.

Anyway you want to pronounce it :)

Can I get an Amen?

I feel like the people that say "HUGH-gin" are also the ones that call me "Sueg" on coms.

THAT is the true what to pronounce that Raven's name.

Of course it is, because Fen wouldn't be wrong, being a Cor @#%^@$%^ I have GOT to make you a signature!!

Fen, are you still a Corsair? and if so may I make you a sig? And if yes what would you like on it?

Edit: Oh look! Swirly Turquoise Serpent! Well I'm glad we've gotten than whole "clan" bit out of our systems.

I would pronounce your name "shug," like the alternative people use for calling each other "Sugar."
How do you pronounce it?
