Why Scandinavian names trip people up

  • Å is ‘oh’ — Haaland → HOH-lahnd, not ‘HAH-land’.
  • Ø / Ö have no English match; Americans land on ‘ur’ or ‘u’ — Ødegaard → UR-duh-gor.
  • J is a ‘y’, and -rg / -rs can soften (Forsberg → FORSH-behr).
  • Stress sits on the first syllable far more often than in English.
