The spelling of the name "Goergen" may seem confusing at first glance, but it can be explained using IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription. The first syllable, "Goer," is pronounced with a long "o" sound like in the word "lore." The second syllable, "gen," is pronounced with a soft "g" sound followed by a short "e" sound like in "beg." Together, the name is pronounced as "GOH-er-gen." So, even though the spelling may not be intuitive, understanding the IPA transcription can help with accurate pronunciation.
