I pronounce it E-do-knee
How wrong I am?

I’d say the same No idea how wrong we are

I assume that’s the correct pronunciation from the very limited Norwegian I know. Not sure which syllable has the emphasis, I’d probably say EE-do-nee though.

I’ve always said ID-uhn-ee (basically the same as you). It’s tricky, because it doesn’t really fit into scandi pronunciation conventions, given that it’s an anglicisation of Iðunn.

Sorceress · January 4, 2021, 1:28pm

nah, ignore this

anon47024950 · January 4, 2021, 2:04pm

I-duhn-ee! Pretty similar to @rosepip!

Violet8181 · January 4, 2021, 2:06pm

E-duh-knee with the emphasis on E

VivienaLunelle123 · January 4, 2021, 2:08pm

I say Eye-duh-knee, but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong!

SparkleNinja18 · January 4, 2021, 4:10pm

My first thought was EYE-duh-nee because it reminds me of “irony”.

Babies123456 · January 4, 2021, 4:16pm

I say ih-dun-nee

may.rose · January 4, 2021, 5:13pm

Ih-duh-nee

I’ve never met anyone with this name. I’d say EYE-duh-nee because it reminds me of [name_u]Ivory[/name_u]. Your way sounds better though.

Never seen this name before. At first glance, I’d say ID-oh-KNEE (the first syllable pronounced like “bid”).

Sorceress · January 5, 2021, 4:40pm

Well, I decided that E-do-knee sounds good enough.
