Is it pronounced:
Oh-GILL-veee - emphasis on the gill syllabul 
Or
Ogle(like bogle)-vy

?

Former I should think. Oh- Gill-vee.

I would have thought on the O.

OOh gillvee

I'd go for the two syllables... Ogle vee

Btw more interestingly is the meaning of the word/name ogilvie... a medical condition, which causes colonic distension.

Er, Tomsk, that's actually three syllables, mush.

Er yeah you're right oops. If you say Ogle quickly though... (?) 

Whatever it is, it certainly ain't Oh-Gleeve as the Crewe commentator was saying last night. Ecky thump lad!

Don't care how you pronounce him unless someone is going to start up a song for him. What I do care about is what a fine signing he is for us.

Try this one on for size then, Herman. To the tune of que sera sera:

Connor Oh-gill-vee
Hes better than you or me
The best ginger I have seen
Connor Oh-gill-vee

Substitute I’ve ever for ‘I have’ and you’ve got a winner.

I'm crap at this sort of thing, but something to the tune of Obla-dee, Obla-dah - as in:

Ogil-vee, Ogil-vah, he runs onnnnnn, whoa, whoa, whoa, he runs on.

Needs work. But not bad if he comes on as a sub 

Or even: the best ginger in the team? Lol
