Norwegianne uploaded a file a while ago, where you could hear all the norwegian names, also Maud, but unfortunately it is not there anymore.
It was really interesting, and some things are really different if you hear them, cannot be explained.

Does anyone know how to pronounce Prince Félix's name? With the accent I doubt its Fee-lix, but Fay-lix the way the é is pronounced in my French classes doesn't seem right either. 0-o

That link doesn't work for me. It loads, but comes up completely blank. Am I doing something wrong?

[kyansaunt20]

In the Prince Felix Feature on youtube Guillaume says his name in the first couple of seconds and it sounds like Fee-lix to me but you might want to go on youtube and check it out

The link posted by Norwegianne works fine here! Thank you for your link Norwegianne! But it takes some time to download here. So far, in 10 minutes, I've only heard Harald, Sonja and Haakon Magnus. Slow computer here! Yupp!!

Not easy to be a foreigner trying to learn Norwegian!

[Furienna]

It works fine for me too, but you have to download it.
