I watched a lot of her appearances on Icelandic TV and I think your description is very close but it is still a bit different.
I do not think that it is sooooooo important to speak her name out like Icelandic people do.
The most important thing is that you like her... even if you call her [byerk] or [byo-ork] or just [byork] or something.
The most interesting thing about her name for me was that it means "birch" (the tree) which is a very beautyful that can reach an age of about 40 or 60 years. (

Another thing: Last December a re-release of her albums in 5.1 was announced and that it was planned for spring 2006. But there were no news on this for so long time and I really wonder what happened about this. I was very excited when I read about this plan and that she just finished remixing her albums on Iceland.
