Webster's Third supports the soft G pronunciation, not the hard... which other pronunciation curiously enough means "a malignant spirit or spook" in Scots. Something new every day. Hard-G for "gimble" as in "gimbal" (which goes both ways) is just fun.

ELAINE: He has this power over me, okay. He has this way of manipulating every little word I say. He's like a Svenjolly.
GEORGE: Svengali. ELAINE: What did I say? JERRY: Svenjolly. ELAINE: Svenjolly? I did not say Svenjolly. JERRY: George? GEORGE: Svenjolly. ELAINE: I don't see how I could have said Svenjolly. JERRY: So maybe he's got like a cheerful mental hold on you.
