HelpSwedish name Lego kinda rhymes w/ Diego... in 1 Swede's opinion based on her dialect
Posted the name laws link on my fb w/ a comment on Lego being quite the name choice (my fam grew up playing w/ Lego... of the toy variety) and a Swedish acquaintance informed me that it really is a Swedish name and is prn. differently than the toys... even recorded it for me to hear.

She said she thinks it's unisex.
Here's a quote from her(which may have been influenced by her dialect):
well... 'lego' is pronouced differently in swedish, so it's actually quite a nice name, it sounds very sweet. and, if you split it into 'le' and 'go' it actually means 'smile' and 'lovely' in swedish/scanian (scanian is my swedish dialect). :)
Still nms exactly, but takes on a new personality... and seems a little less silly. Trying to think which of my bro.s would be more likely to at least consider using it.
