I read it with a trilled r, probably because it looks Scandinavian, and I think Scandinavian names have trilled Rs. I'm not a big fan of the name, but I do think it sounds better with trilled.

I have to try really hard not to pronounce it with the rolled r, I definitely prefer it with the trill as such.

With trill is prettier, but I doubt most people can do that. Either is very pretty.

According to Wikipedia, it is prn sɪɣrun. No trill.

I would pronounce the name as SEEG-rune, without a trilled 'r.'
