How do you say "Gudrun". "Gerolde", and "Sigurd". I have my own English-ized pronunciations, but I'd like to know the real way to say it.
I imagine the "Gud" is kinda like the german "guten", but is the "run" part like that too? Gude-rune?
Yes, you are right here. It should sound like Goodroon like in boot or noon and the G like in get. I think Gerold is written without the e at the end; see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerold. Should be spoken as a hard G at the beginning, the er like in where and a short old. BTW: No idea who told you this but those names are everything but cool or sexy names for web servers. :-) -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
