If you want to have it with an accent, it's rather Sabinè.
We are kinda sloppy with a closing "e" in German, so it is never pronounced like the French é.

I was waiting for this one since her name was brought up several times before. I also think most people here don't even know they make a pronouncing mistake especially that ES crew has never called her right during all those years
btw, Puig's name is pronounced here at the start and it's obviously given as "Pooig" like I suspected unless my ears defy me. And the guy is definitely a native speaker

You cant really blame them.
Pronouncing her name correctly is basically mission impossible for everyone outside Eastern Europe.
