How are these pronounced in different Scandinavian languages? And are there any other variants not listed on BtN?
(Hyperlink - Soren)

I live in Sweden, and Sören is the swedish form, and Soren (with line over the "o") is danish/norwegian.
In Swedish the ö is pronounced like the i in bird, sir etc, so yes, like SIR-en.
It's hard to explain, since the "ö" isn't found in English. But it's almost like if you were saying "Sir Wren" (SUHR-en)

In Danish, Søren is pronounced with only one syllable: Sirn (English 'Sir' + 'n')

Yes but...
it's more sir-ren, but also pronounced in one syllable as you said: Sirn.
