Only delinquents. Proper people don’t mangle Magnus with a superfluous n.Not spelling-wise.

Im Swedish and know for certain that is how the name is pronounced.Only delinquents. Proper people don’t mangle Magnus with a superfluous.
He should just change his name to Cholmondeley so we don't have worry about how to say it.

May not make sense to you but that is just how it is.
Yes, Squire said how it is in Norwegian. I added more context and said that is how Swedes pronounces the name as well. It is quite a common name for men born in the 1960-1970s, especially.The question was about how it's pronounced in Norwegian.
But I'll ammend my earlier claim; it's only Swedes that can't be trusted!
Anyway... back to Matteo!
Do we know if he pronounces his first name in the Italian way, or a more Americanized way?
Yes, Squire said how it is in Norwegian. I added more context and said that is how Swedes pronounces the name as well.
I only went with what Squire say about the Norwegian part and added said context about how Swedes pronounces it that way as well. Keep up.And then laarsland corrected you and said that's not how a Norwegian would pronounce it.
I responded to laarsland that as a Swede I know for a fact that is how people pronounce it.
Thats Danes reputation tbh.Yes. People who can't be trusted.
Thats Danes reputation tbh.
Especially redhead ones.Nah, only those named Hansen, so about 94.36% of us.
Especially redhead ones.
It is Danes who seems to derail threads and having to have discussions removed about off-topic stuff.Do you have much experience with redheaded Danes named 'Hansen'?
@Armchair Cyclist, maybe you could move the entire pronouncitaion and untrustworthyness discussion starting with the strange way of pronouncing 'Magnus' to a seperate that named "Why Swedes - and Some Norwegians - Can't Be Trusted"
