[Opinions] Re: Swedish audio pronunciation (including names like Björn, Knut, Astrid, Sigrid..)
in reply to a message by Ninor
Hey, thanks for doing this. This is really neat. Definitely a few surprises in here for me. I thought Dagny was prounced DAGG-nee and Hillevi had 3 syllables. And the way you pronounce "gn" in Agnes and Signe is really hard for me to mimic or even describe. Same with the Å sound in Åke. Sounds cool though!Here are a few other Swedish names I like, that I'd be interested in hearing you say:Alva, Ingrid, Ester, Juni, Ronja, Moa, Svea, Lo, My, Stina
Nils, Arvid, Olle, Malte, Sixten, Melker, Loke, Tage, Sigge, CasperI'm also curious how English loan names like Jack, John, Kevin, Sally, Belle, and Hailey are pronounced in Swedish.
