Is there anywhere where ROON is an acceptable pronunciation for Rune?

I had a teacher named Rune and he said that when he was in the UK (I think?) people pronounced it ROON.

In Portugal it would be, if you don't mind a hard r (like the French r) at the beginning.

Not sure what you intend: OO as in boot, or OO as in foot? In the UK and South Africa we use the boot OO, so Rune would sound like the first syllable of the ln of Wayne Rooney, a gifted but naughty footballer with Manchester United.

I guess I should have been more clear about that.
Yes, exactly like the first syllable of Rooney (which is an indie-alternative band here in America.)

I was always taught to pronounce Rune like the first part of Rooney by my British teachers. I wasn't aware that there was another way to say it in English (since it's also a word name). Of course, the pronunciation is different in Norwegian/Swedish.

Honestly, it had not even crossed my mind that it could just be considered a word name. I was just thinking of it as a Scandinavian name.
