I assume in Canada/UK it rhymes with vagina? That's probably because the royal cipher of Elizabeth II was ER, with the 'R' being for Regina (Latin for 'queen'). So I would imagine that people have heard it in that context before.

Just looking at it it looks like it should be pronounced "redgEEnuh".

Yeah that's exactly right.

I was only aware of the Canada/UK version and was caught off guard when used on a colleague that used "redgEEnuh" for their name.
