What is the correct pronunciation of Kjetil?

Hi Kendra,

Norwegian and Swedish pronunciation:

Kjetil: CHEH-til ("ch" like in the word cheque, but without the t-sound in the beginning!)
Kettil: exactly like Kjetil but with a shorter eh-sound.

Danish:

Kjetil: KYEH-til
Kettil: KETT-til

Regards, Satu

Thought I might throw this one in:
Icelandic:

Ketill: KYEH-tidlh

lh is an unvoiced 'l' sound, a bit like ll in welsh words
