Re: Pronounciation
I checked with my German friend. He says "Dagmar" in German is pronounced as I showed above with the stress on the first syllable. So it's pronounced something like "DAHG-mar". Hopefully someday I can check it with a Dane for the Danish pronunciation.

Of course in Germany it's pronounced Hol-shtahyn.
ForumAd, are you sure that the "d" in Gilliard is pronounced. I don't know much French but I would say it's pronounced "Zhill-ee-yahr".

Re: Pronounciation
the 'd' is pronounced, but very softly. It should not be a 'hard d' like dog.

Re: Pronounciation
Copenhagen in Danish sounds a bit like "Kurb'n-hey-in."
I've seen Buxhoeveden written as Bugsgevden, which I guess is the Russian version of the name. It would be pronounced "Boogz-gev-(hard g)-den".

Re: Pronounciation
Johnny you are right "Gilliard" is a French name and therefore the "d" in the end is not pronounced at all. The stress falls on the last syllable ; zhi
