Help[Opinions] Re: Swedish June BAs
in reply to a message by Malin
Aww, thanks for so patiently answering my questions! :-)
I have to admit I'm really intrigued with Älva. You see, I've never been too fond of Elva, I've always thought that Alva was a nice enough name, just not necessarily for my child. Älva on the other hand... must be the umlaut. I've taken a mysterious liking to umlauts recently ;-)
So Älva is a word name (which I should have known, but oh well... ;-) ). This makes me ask even more questions.
How is Älva perceived in Sweden? I've read that Tindra for example is sometimes considered somewhat "tacky", is it the same with Älva?
Oh, and how about names like Vilda or Engla? Or maybe word names in general. I have a feeling that word names are way more common in Sweden than they are here (which is not really all that difficult seeing as we hardly have any (left) ;-) ).
So how are they perceived?
