Behind the Name: Comments for the name Søren

Comments for SØREN:

The "Sör" part is pronounced a little like "sir", rhymes with Fleur. Sören = SIR-enn.

Actually my nephew's name is Soren and it is pronounced like it looks not "sir-en".

Ylva left a comment about the pronunciation of Sören, which was correct. Obviously if you anglicize the name and drop the umlaut it will be pronounced differently, more like in sorry.

I have a friend named Soren, without the umlaut. I'm from Belgium, and here the name is pronounced like Sooren, in Dutch pronunciation. It's not like the English one.

In Norwegian:
Sør - sir
En -in

The -en sound is very short.
