I'm assuming you don't live in Denmark? The US maybe? Anyway, if you do live in America, then you wouldn't achieve those pronunciations, most likely. Family in Denmark would pronounce it in those ways way, but in American, William would not have the V pronunciation, etc.

We live in America right now, but maybe not forever. We would not expect Americans to pronounce their names in Danish. The only one that may be a problem and doesn't have a clear English pronunciation is Amalie. Another problem is that some people in his family don't speak English at all, so we would like names that can be pronounced in both languages. I just included Danish pronunciations so that you would have an idea of what they sounded like in Danish.
