Nice name! It's kinda obvious how I would pronounce it. :)
But here goes: /rYt:Ervi:k/ with a grave pitch accent,
i.e. on /Y/ and /i:/.
I have in fact a similar question. My mom's maiden name was
_Sagelid_ and I could change my surname to it if I wanted to.
My grandfather came up with it because every other guy where
he lived had _Johansson_ as surname.
It's very nice in Swedish, but how does it sound for a non-Swede?
And how'd y'all pronounce it (if you didn't know I was Swedish)?
