It's properly said IM-o-jen (short "e") ... not IM-o-jeen, as I see a few others have mistakenly suggested. That would be spelled Imogene, actually a more modern form of Imogen.
Imogen itself is a very old name stemming from a mistaken transcription of Innogen, a Gaelic name derived from "inghean," meaning "maiden." In addition, it sometimes carries the elaborated meaning "in the image of her mother," thanks to its literal link to inghean/"maiden" and visual similarity to the word "image."
Hope that clears things up. ;)

This is a beautiful name and it is pronounced
IM (as in him) O (as in no) JUN (as in oxygen)
This is the only pronunciation of Imogen.
Imogene however is pronounced
IM (as in him) O (as in no) JEEN (as in clean)

Short i sound as in imagine, long o, followed by gen with g sounding like a j and long e vowel.
im-O-jEn

I've always read it as "image-in," but I'm probably wrong.
