As in Noah Ngeny.
I have heard NI-en (with a long "i") but it seems like the the correct pronunciation should be GEN-ee.

In America, do you also have sodum and helum? Platum maybe? Iridum? Titanum? Polonum? No chromum or zirconum? Perhaps your teeth are so perfect because of all the calcum you get?
And BTW, it's aluminium. You couldn't even get getting it wrong right.

Yeah but we also have Molybdenum, Tantalum, Platinum, and Lanthanum, so it's hardly set in stone.

This is the correct pronunciation.
Isn't Catherine Ndereba's last name pronounced duh-RAY-buh?
This makes it seem like Noah Ngeny's last name should be pronounced GEN-ee.
Ngeny is pronounced "YEN."
The why not spell it that way?
There are tons of English words spelled differently in the U.S.A., such as Favor/Favour. The original spelling was Favour, but in an effort to be as un-British as possible, the word was changed.
I swear I've heard it pronounced 'Gee-yen'
