Wago or......

[westward10]

Last few months working with different people I have noticed different pronunciations for 'Wago'.
One says Wago another says Wago and another states Wago, I concurred with the latter so how do you pronounce it?
Maybe I should do a survey.

German pronunciation falls somewhere between vaago (soft A) and vargo - I'd tend to err toward the former, but with a W in place of the V as I'm not German and don't speak German.

Perhaps we might have a German member who could point out regional variations in the pronunciation of this name

Oh dear oh dear, I don't understand how there can be any confusion! It is quite obvious that it is pronounced:
"the clear connector thingummybobs with orange lifty jobbies"

How do you pronounce Ideal then? If they are going to rip Wago off in every other way they should start saying their name a different way....

Personally I don't pronounce it at all as I don't use anything but the genuine orange - lever jobbies
