I presume that you understand English, oh'k here goes my suggestion: the dobble aa in the name is pronunced rather like the 'a' in Uk English also and like the 'a' in US English awesome.
Kierke is pron. ceer - g -( like in the 'g' in glad) g - ( awesome 'a') (a)rd.
Ceer-ge-g-aard.
It means graveyard/cemetery btw.

Lisbeth Mejer
: apart from the 'c' unless you stress the fact that is must pronounced like a¨'k' - not an 's'!

Absolutely - you are right about the 's'/'c'-problem. Thanks!
