Soren - is it pronounced...

[bohemianbint]

Sore-en or Sorren?

I'm not sure I like it yet, am mulling...

In my head it's Sorren (but am frequently wrong )

Sor-ren, I reckon. That's how they say it on Charlie & Lola anyway

Well, on Charlie and Lola () they pronounce it to rhyme with Lauren

Actually being Scandiwegian-ish it probably is Sore-en, come to think.

Sore-en
Lore-en

Pron Sorren usually. I love that in Charlie and Lola - Soren Lorenson. Makes me go around saying it under my breath cos I like the way it sounds!

If you don't know how to pronounce it, neither will anyone else. Step away from the name before someone gets hurt..........

In Denmark it's pronounced something similar to 'Ser'n' (although it's written Søren).

seeker - you could be right. It was one of DH's suggestions (and he's not made too many so am trying to be positive!) It makes me think of malt loaf as well, and not sure that's the best thing...

Doesn't that ø make and o sound like ugh/er?

Tinker - yup - the 'er' was the closest way I could think of typing the pronunciation.

I think there's a welsh name Serren (meaning star) which is nice if you just like the sounds

Had to cut and paste your ø UpSince

Seren is 'star' in Cornish too

I was thinking soreen too

I mean Steren

Hmmm...we were considering Seren for a girl but that seems to have dropped off the radar for now. Ah well, back to the drawing board. >

But isn't Soren a boy's name?

Branflake, yes, Soren's a boy's name. It woudl be so useful if we actually knew what we were getting - the suspense is killing me!

Present for you Tinker (to tidy away in case any future need ):
å
æ
ø

ps, Søren is definitely a boy's name!

Duly filed. I like them

In Germany it would be Soeren (sorry, Tinker, I don't have an umlaut on this keyboard, but I can send you one next week when I get home )

Pronounced Soor -en (Rhymes with moor). It is the Danish version of the name Severin and means strict/serious.

I tend to agree that if you don't know how to pronounce it then noone else will. Saying that, noone in Germany could pronounce DDs name to begin with and they have just had to learn

makes me think of this, I'm afraid.
