And 'Flj' as... er... in English flie could be either 'fly' of 'flee' (arrggh!)

'oe' is easy enough
So! either
Fly-oe-dsdale or Flee-oe-dsdale - and I think the 'dale' is not pronounced as in English either!
I think it comes out as something like:

Flee-oe-ds-daa-ler ????? Flee-oe-ds-daal ???

Which sound rather nice, actually.

Hey, peeps! Try saying it with your best attempt at a Danish accent (or, preferably, Icelandic - well - you've all heard Bjork, I imagine!)

EDIT: Grr! Accidentally hit send before I'd finished!

I guess it's closer too Flee-oe-ds and yes its Daal, except Dale is not an icelandic word, I thought that part of your name was just the english like in Icewind Dale. The icelandic word for that would be Dalur... which is pretty close.

I'm thinking of trying to find my microphone and just post a Wav file of how it's said... would save a lot of trouble...
