Incorrectly.

What? It's probably true.

How dare I make a thread asking how people pronounce a commonly mis pronounced name!

The reason for this was because I heard a new one today and wanted to go to school tomorrow with a list for a couple friends.

I had a blog. It sucked.

I guess I would pronounce it Bjorklin, because Bjork is a wonderful singer, actress, composer, and all-around woman with a great taste in dresses. For all these reasons, and more, I would pronounce it Bjorklin.

If I had to guess I'd say it looked a bit german or similar, so I'd pronounce it like the 'ue' was a u-umlaut and so as not to be pretentious, I'd just turn that into an E. So...i'd pronounce it Berklin.

According to Björk herself, her name rhymes with 'jerk'.¹

Ah, Björk... I'll always appreciate a woman who can use a Kurzweil K2000 like a synth instead of an electric piano sample.

Heh. I was waiting for that to happen as soon as she started to open the thing. But I guess we wouldn't be seeing it filmed if it had happened...

Edit: Ah, the name... No idea, so I'd probably go with the first guess: Berklin.

Byoo-er-klin. Say this really fast, so it almost sounds like B-your-klin, but with a slightly flatted 'ou' (in your).

I think this is how you pronounce it, assuming the 'ue' in Buerklin is an umlaut.

Correct pronunciation is "Ber-Klin" congrats to those of you go got that.

I got called "Bwer-klin" the other day and so I started this thread to see how many weird pronunciations I could get through the internet. A couple of my friends thought "Bjorklin" was hilarious.
