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
