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.
