OK, I won't spoil the fun either. ;-) But my Danish name is=20
pronounced ['k_hR&s.tj&n 'jens@n] in Danish, where [R] is a=20
pharyngeal approximant. Its fairly straightforward, I suppose,=20
as far as Danish names go. But I don't really care how anyone=20
pronounces it, English ['k_hr,Is.tS@n 'dZens@n] is fine with me.
