RyanČ,
I think Lilith's suggestion is correct.

Lilith's suggestion would certainly be the "american english" pronounciation... but heck.. who knows with so many other versions of english and so many dialects.

I always liked to use the universal pronounciation ...
"HEY, YOU!"

Yeah, I agree guys, I've been pronouncing it as "Jarner" since I knew this name, and I think that is correct, as well as damn cute!

OMG! I gotta ask this.....I can't control myself!
Ryan? There is no "r" in the way you spelled the name.....so why would you put 2 r's in the pronunciation?
<-----is the ever curious one....and hey....I gotta be me....so sue me!
