[Opinions] Re: Swedish BAs
in reply to a message by Capucine (nsi)
Judging from the father's name, Senju is probably Japanese. Edin seems to be Albanian, but that seems a bit odd with his siblings?
Casper was 45th on the top list last year.
Adelé is just people not knowing how accent marks work again, I guess. (I went to school with a Theresé ...)

Edin is a common Bosnian Muslim name if it help any. Do you know their last name or the parents' names?

Thanks!
Um, sorry if I'm leading this thread totally off-topic, but how (un)common is Aster in Sweden?
I really like it, but I've never seen it used in real life here in Germany (I've only ever come across it in old church books).
Yeah, misplaced accent marks occur here, too.
But how about the spellings Therése and Helén? I've read somewhere that these two are official Swedish spellings. Is that true?

Aster is rare, but not quite unheard of - as a girls name at least, but this one was a boy, which I found a bit odd ...
Therése and Helén are pretty common, but in those cases it isn't misplaced, as those e's are long and stressed.

Ah, thanks!
I'm especially glad to hear that the spelling Helén really exists. At the moment, it's my favourite pronunciation of this name, but if I ever want to use it, I'll have to prove that this spelling (and thus the pronunciation) really exist somewhere in the world.
I'm also happy to hear about Aster (as a girls' name). Maybe I should finally put her on my long list...
Sorry if my questions seemed odd and thanks for your answers! :-)
