[Facts] Aricin pronunciation
Hi. Can anyone tell me the pronunciation of the Norwegian name Aricin? I read that Arkin was an alternative, but don't know if they are pronounced the same or if the first is pronounced:
air-eh-sin
-or-
R-eh-cin
Thanks!

Named my kid that. Every Norwegian I've met has never heard of the name. Nonetheless, one website somewhere said AY RIH SIN. One Norwegian I met said Airrrrr (rolled) ih sin, as a guess.When we read the name we read it as Air-ih-sin. However, it does have Aric in the name so you could try AHR (like a pirate) IH KIN or even Air-ik-kin (Eric-Kin slurred together). Or just anglosize it and call him Ericson; of course then he'll sound like a cell-phone.
