Help[Opinions] Re: Swedish celebrity BAs
in reply to a message by Malin
Well, at least Swedish celebrities announce their kids' names. German celebs these days tend to just announce that the baby was born, maybe that the child is a boy or a girl, and that was that. No name. Well, many of them do.
(Which I totally understand, by the way. It's just, you know, a tad frustrating for the name nerd that I am. Um, yeah.)
Vida Serafia Julia - I love Vida, I really do. I like Julia. And I just don't know what to make of Serafia. In fact, I'm not even sure how to pronounce it. Or, more precisely, where the emphasis goes: is it on the second or the third syllable?
For some reason, though, this combo works for me. To my surprise. Huh.
But wait! She has a sister named Liv Älva Serafia Juni? The same middle name? And Juni. So might Julia be a "variant" of Juli for her parents?
Liv Älva, as a combo, doesn't convince me. Too wordy for me, I guess. How is that combo perceived in Sweden?
Bibbi Nikki-Lo Inga-Lill Krabban - um, a crab and a lynx in the same combo? That sounds kind of like a set-up to an Aesopian fable ;)
I really like Inga, though.
Cecilia and Olivia are not necessarily names I would use, but I like the sibset.
Tilo, spelt Thilo, is one of the few boys' names I really like at the moment.
Oh, and I love Frances.
How is the sibset Florian, Floyd and Flynn perceived? Don't get me wrong, I think all three names are rather nice, but Florian has a totally different feel, style than Floyd and Flynn to me.
