Help[Opinions] Re: Swedish June BAs
in reply to a message by Frollein Gladys
I'm not Malin, but another Swede.
Most words names are considered "WT" in my opinion, including Älva, Vilda, Tindra, Ängla / Engla. This does not include word names like Bo, Björn, Sten, Stig etc, those are usually considered to be dated. I pronounce Elva and Älva the same, though it could be pronounced slightly different depending on where you live. Älva is unusual here in Sweden, only 218 women has this name, of which 73 has it as their FN. And Engla used to be more popular than it is now. I think it lost quite a lot of popularity after a very sad story a few years ago when a child named Engla was murdered.
