Re: Swedish BAs once again
in reply to a message by Malin
My opinions:
Boys:
Albin (Adam, Amelia) - Love it!
Alexander (Stella) - Love it!
Algot - Love it!
Anton (Alma) - Love it!
Axel - Love it!
Benjamin (Patricia, Raphael, Felicia) - Love it!
Benjamin (Theodor) - Same here.
Elias - Love it!
Leopold - Love it!
Matheus - Love it!
Max - Ick! Now even foreigners name kids after stupid celebrity kids?
Milton (Linus) - Milton is an ugly old man name, and Linus is too heavily associated with Peanuts.
Nils (Emilia) - Love it!
Noah - Doesn't sound Swedish.
Noel (Elliot) - Love it, but Elliot doesn't sound Swedish.
Rasmus - Ick!
Theodor (Elias, Isak) - Love it!
Villiam - Is this an actual Swedish name?
Girls:
Allis (Emma) - ???
Anna - Love it!
Elsa (Albin, Ludvig) - Love it!
Emilia (Emil) - Oh no, two siblings with matching names!
Jolie (Emeline) - Did they name her after Angelina Jolie?
Lily - Doesn't sound Swedish.
Linnéa (Liam) - Liam doesn't sound Swedish.
Maja (Kalle, Stina, Vilgot, Lisa, Emil) - Love it, and I'm pleased to see a non-Muslim European family having more than two kids!
Maja (Moa) - Love it!
Molly - Sounds like a redneck?
Naomi (Kewin, Emilio) - Kevin spelled phonetically? Note to all non-English-speaking Europeans here: Kevin is not a name from your cultures! Get over it.
Nathalie (Felicia, Oliver) - Love it!
Nicoline - Love it!
Nova - Love it!
Saga (Henrik, Linn, Sofie, Anna, Niklas) - See my comment for Maja (the one with 5 siblings).
Svea - Sounds too Swedish.
Thilma (Alva) - Thelma is an ugly old lady name.
Tilda - Love it!
Vilma (Ellen) - Love it!
Siblings of nameless children:
Amanda, Petra, Olivia - Amanda and Olivia don't sound Swedish.
Isak, Erik, Arvid - Lovely!
Jeremia - Sounds more like a girl.
Nathalie, Evelina, Felicia - Love it!
Sverre, Annie - Annie doesn't sound Swedish.
Ulrika, Ewa, Filipa, Michelle, Victoria - Lovely, and see my comments for Maja and Saga. But Ewa looks Polish, and Michelle is not a Swedish name.
I'm pleased with the more traditional names (and the fact that there are Europeans that have more than two children in a family). but sickened by the English names.
