Well, Robin, it's up to you.  For me Bilbo's arguments make a good 
sense.  i'm a poor judge here, since my native language is Russian, but 
gor me _G_ is more natural than _J_.  What about "Everyone I know 
pronounces it this way." - go to Russia and ask anybody to pronounce, it 
will be _G_IF in 100%, well, maybe 99.9% ;-)
