How do you pronounce the name Imoen?

Sometimes the pronunciation of Imoen sounds like /eməuen/, sometimes like /iməuen/.

And there are some discussion about this. For example:
http://viktorie.fuzzymonkey.net/~diana/forum/showthread.php?t=4122

---It's pronounced like the letter "M" "O" and "N" together."

---And it looks like a typo of Imogen. Imogen and Ione, as mentioned above are much better in my opinion since they are actual names.

---It does look like a typo of Imogen! LOL

---Too close to "I moan".

---Heheh. Someone's a Baldur's Gate fan!

---It's pronounced "em-oh-en"?

Then, the question: how do you pronounce the name of Imoen?

    Thank you for your response!

    Everyone has different ears. Could you plz use IPA to mark your pronunciation?

    The latter in your first transcription (as heard in her "Heya! It's me, Imoen!" soundclip).

    Yes. When a person speaks his or her own name, that is how it is pronounced.

    No, hell no. You won't want to see a friend of mine trying to say his name with a sandwich in his mouth (the entire 3 feet long Uh? 3 inches long? Uh? NO, HELL NO, BAATOR BE DAMNED, just it was normal sandwich, wide 4 centimeters and 6 long), it was, well, annoying, he couldn't say any. single. letter.
