I have not seen that name in Danish before. I would pronounce it
"Håueman" if I saw it on a danish name list. Of cause you can
chose to pronounce your name in a special way.
Anyway, you may have been fooled by the "g" which may be numb,
or pronounced like a short "u". so it is:
Haa-ge-man
Hå ue man
