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.
It's pronounced bee-ORN.
You should pronounce this name as "Bee-Yorn".
In Sweden Björn is pronounced pretty much like the English word yearn with a B (Byearn).
The "Ö" pronunciates like:
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."
