The Y sound in Ylva does not exist in English and as far as I know it's can be difficult for native English speakers to pronounce it. If you know French it is pronounced like the U in rue.
I might upload a sound file later with me saying Ylva in Swedish. That's probably the easiest way to explain :)

Sound file
Here's a sound file with me saying the name Ylva twice. This is how it is pronounced in Swedish but there is almost no difference in pronunciation when it is said in the other Scandinavian languages.

You don't have to download the file. Just click on V004 and it will be played in Windows Media Player (or other media player)
