Amusing question -- how does everyone think it should be pronounced? And how
does Andrew pronounce it?
It looks very Swedish. To pronounce it in Swedish with English
sounds/letters would look something like this:
aakeroen
Å - should be pronounced something like the "aw" in English "saw"
ö - like the English "e" or "i" in "her" or "sir"
The "e" and "k" should be pronounced like the "e" and "k" in "elk".
Find some sound files on Wikipedia:
