I hate how English speakers pronounce this name. It's not Byorn or B-djorn, Beeyorn or whatever you've invented in your head.
It's like it says in the guide: Byuun. Or just think that it should rhyme with "burn" or "earn", with an unclear or soundless R.

I love any name which an English speaker cannot correctly pronounce, even if he (she?) seriously tried. This is one of them.

I was never particularly fond of this name, to be honest, but it's grown on me. I'm now considering it in the combination Elliott Björn. The only thing that stops me from considering it as a first name is all the stupid pronunciations Björn Ulvaeus received; (b-JORN) being the main one that irritates me.

The "Ö" pronunciates like:
the "O" in "world"
the "I" in "Sir"
and the "U" in "Turn".

the "O" in "world"
the "I" in "Sir"
and the "U" in "Turn".

The best pronunciation example I can think of is that it rhymes with the words "urn/burn" and "earn/yearn."

I really like this name, but it can get butchered. In the States we have a cat named BJÖRN (because it used to stand like a bear when a kitten), and every time we go to the vet, they say, "B...dgorn?" and it doesn't matter how many times I say it out loud for them.

Beorn? Sorry, but not knowing how to pronounce the "o" with two dots over it, and knowing the "j" is pronounced like a "y", my mind jumped to pronouncing it like "bee-orn," which is also Beorn, a character from Lord of the Rings. Also, what's interesting is this name means "bear," and the character Beorn could turn into a bear. Hm.

If Beorn from LOTR could turn into a bear, it's likely his name is derived from the Old English word for bear. "eo" is a common grapheme in the Old English language (cf. "sweord" for sword). It should be fairly obvious that OE and Old Norse are very closely related languages and would be today were it not for the bastardizing influence of Norman French.

This seems to be just about one of the best names there is. Definitely. I love the feel of it. It sounds smart and intelligent. I just hope it doesn't turn yuppie and popular by the time I'm able to use this on a child.

This is my father's name. His mother was 19 when she got him, and I can't see a 19 year old giving her son the name Björn. But I think it's a nice name.
