How would you pronounce.......

I'm more of a lurker than a poster, I've been lurking though most of my pregnancy and have gleaned some valuble insight. Now I need your opinions.
Soren, are you familiar with it? If not, if you only saw it written how would you pronounce it? If you are familiar with it how do you pronounce it?
We like it however I am concerned there will always be pronounciation issues.

Re: How would you pronounce.......
Yes, I'm familiar with the name. I've heard it pronounced SIR-ehn and SOR-ehn both. I believe SIR-ehn (or something close to that) is the original pronunciation, but that might be because of the accent mark.
The name is on my long list.
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
More Sore-ren than Sore-in if that makes sense
Love it!
Ditto.
"Soar-in"
I like the name
Well, I've seen it before. I'd pronounce it SOR-ehn, just like it looks. Is that not correct?
I'd also assume it's a boy's name.
I agree with the previous poster more like "Sore-ren"
Like that name, I've never heard it in real life.
Soar-In.
Never met anyone with the name... I assume girl?
Boy. Think Soren Kierkegaard.
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
sore-in
I sorta have a family member with this name (cousin's wife's sister has twins Elijah and Soren, and daughter Georgia) and that's how they pronounce it. I like it.
SORE-in
I've heard it before but the most recent time was in the Legend's of the Guardian's movie. The main owl was named Soren.
Me: 27 Dh: 35 Testing Begins 3/5/13
Six SA's show DH has low numbers across the board = severe MFI
Genetic testing for me = MTHFR+, also carrier for blood clotting disorder Otherwise all else normal
Dh's karotype= Normal!!
Thanks everyone. You have confirmed my position to SO!
It is 100% boy...... I can't see it as a girl name. But it is not pronounced Soar - in. I totally understand how it appears it should be pronounced that way, especially Americanized.
Soren - the "or" sound more like "world" or "word" not like "or" or "sore". The "en" sound is "un"
This is my problem, I know once introduced it will be fine but the poor boy will forever have is name mispronounced as people will read it phonetically, which I totally understand. This is the problem with non American names haha
This is the best discription I've heard
and yes it is!
