Reading

まご
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

You are the grandchild of your grandfather. His favorite thing is to call you a maggot (まご). Your grandfather was in the military and is very hard on you, maggot.
