I'm curious what people have to say about this myself, as I've gotten contradictory answers from various sources.

Undoubtedly an old discussion which I, as a newcomer to the (autodidactic)  
study of ON have not yet heard:  How is "v" pronounced?  Is it as "w"  per
Barnes, or "v" per Gudlaugsson.  Regionalism?  Chronologically  dependent?  
 
Or since I'm not likely to ever discourse with any Vikings (except Palo  
Alto High School's), can I pretty much pronounce it whichever way I want?  
 
Thanks,
