Help[Opinions] Re: Swedish October BAs: Girls and twins
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
Haha, I don't think Jennifer, Ida, Jasper and Cornelia sounds eclectic at all. (Though Jesper/Casper would have fit better than Jasper, it's not very common here.) I know that at least Jennifer and Ida don't belong to the same era of names in the US, but they definitely do here. :)
I've never heard Flaurenta and Flondra before. They have an Albanian surname so I guess they're Albanian names.
The y in Gry is a vowel sound that simply doesn't exist in English, it's always very hard to explain. Here's Gry pronounced in Norwegian: http://www.forvo.com/search/gry/no/ (There's a Swedish pronuncation there as well but he's over-articulating)
Leon & Noel has to be the most common twin set in Sweden right now. Two really popular names that happen to be each other backwards? People just can't resist.
