::{{re|Kbb2}} The very example we're using to illustrate first and middle names being unstressed in [[Danish phonology#Stress]] contains a long unstressed vowel, as does in the source, Grønnum (1998: 104). Pronunciations of first names like [https://forvo.com/search/peter/da Peter] and [https://forvo.com/search/martin/da Martin] on Forvo clearly retain the vowel length.
::What's more, I was surprised to find many examples of [https://forvo.com/search/carl/da Carl]/[https://forvo.com/search/karl/da Karl] were clearly pronounced with stød. It seems the case that, while vowel length and stød are frequently lost in spontaneous speech when unstressed, this is by no means obligatory (compare the examples of "distinct" and "normal" speech [http://sproghistorie.dk/lydsystem/ here], and search for "stress reduction" in Basbøll etc.).
::I think we should restore not only vowel length but stød and stress in first/middle names etc. In IPA-xx transcriptions we normally try to capture as many lexically contrastive elements—which stress, stød, and vowel length clearly are—as possible, rather than the result of an utterance after syntax and intonation are applied. We do trasncribe some allophonic information that only arises in connected speech, like {{IPA
