HelpSoren
At first I didn't care much for Soren, but now I see its appeal - it's elegant, taciturn and no-nonsense.
Thoughts on this name? What are some combos?

its nice
I'm from the midwest (USA), and I knew a guy in high school named Soren. He was nice. Only downside is he got a lot of high school musical jokes ("we're *soren*, flyin', there's not a star in heaven that we can't reach..."). I like the name.
Quite nice. Good in its home country or countries, but too unEnglish for me to consider.
Interesting, I thought this was an easily Anglicized name since everyone I've met with this name so far have been Americans who use an "o" instead of an "ø". Sure it's not the 'real' way to say it, but neither is the English way of saying many names that came from other languages (we don't use the French "r" for Marie, etc.)
It's probably just me: my husband loves and studies Scandinavian languages, and when we were at school a friend had a boyfriend named and pronounced Søren. So it's something I'm aware of. In the US, is the so- (or sø-) pronounced like the so- in sodden or in soaring?
I've seen it pronounced like soaring.
The boyfriend in question said it rather like Sirrin.
Yeah in scandinavian languages that letter will sound somewhere between "ih" or "uh," but in the US, they would definitely pronounce it like "soar-in." You guys could pronounce it like Sirrin at home, but at school, I guarantee the kids would be saying it the american way, and he probably would too. Both ways sound nice in my opinion, so I don't think it would be a big deal.
It's ok
Pleasant and tranquil, reminds me of "soaring".
Exactly what you said, stranger.
I like it. I thought it was boring when I was a kid because I had a classmate named Soren so I assumed it was overused, but it's actually not overused and I think it's good.
