I used to think it was pronounced Fige, but I have learned that the correct way is Fie-gy. Kind of like Nike.

Yeah, I've heard it like "Fay-gee" as well. Is that the right way?

I moved this to the Community forum as it does not strictly deal with Marvel comics.

I've heard folks in a podcast pronounce it as 'fye-gee' (with a hard G), to rhyme with Nike as Kurt said above.
But the spelling of the name reminds me of the German word Feige, which means 'fig', as in the fruit. If the name is of German origin, then it would be pronounced more or less as 'Fye-guh', with the final 'e' pronounced as a schwa (like the 'e' in 'battery').Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me

Huh, I imagined it as sounding like "fayjh".
Okay, here's another one, since the ice on this topic is broken - David Aja. Is that "A-ha"? I've never met anyone with that name.

yeah, it's AA-ha. Stress is on the first syllable. I guess it's a Spanish name. Cause my pal with the last name Aja is Cuban.

Looks like a German name to me. So I would say [fajg].
