Just throw your last name in right away too. Problem solved.

Bored, Board, or heck since people will probably call you Bard, just introduce yourself as Bard.. but don't be surprised if people want you to play them a song or tell stories ;p

after the first two sentences i thought this would be about shakespeare. Screw how you rponounce it, most english speakers will probably never say it right anyways. Introduce yourself as "the bard"

Aren't we all Bård sometimes?

My name is, "Bored Silly."

Hahaha, eid! xD Just say your name is Bard, like someone over me said. That works, problem solved!

Here in Holland we have people called Fokje, which is pronounced Fock ye. There's always someone worse off!

There is also the dutch family name "kok" which sounds pretty much thesame as **** in English.

You could have been named Even or Odd. That would have been worse. lol But yea, Norwegian names sucks. Mines sounds like some sort of rectal infection in English. That's a lot worse that Bård. Trust me on this!

Just say "my name is Bård" instead of "I am Bård". Or you could just make a joke out of it and lighten the mood! It's cool :)
