I was watching a non-fiction TV show and a man was named Svein which I thought was pronounced like Sven, but everyone was pronouncing it like Schwinn and Schvenn. None of these people were Norse or Scandinavian (They’re we’re American), including the man but all had Norse/Scandinavian names and surnames.

Are these legitimate pronunciations?
