in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
Lego is NOT a Swedish name. It's not a name in any language, as far as I know.

Here's what the person said (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). :)

Of course Lego is pronounced differently; English and Swedish are different languages. That the brand name Lego can be split into Swedish words does not make it a legitimate name.
Maybe your acquaintance is of the opinion that any "name" that has been used on a human (whether it's Catherine, John, Bronwyn, Lego or Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116) is a real, legitimate name.
ETA: Her dialect has nothing to do with whether Lego is a real name or not.

Not so much a matter of it actually being a real name, but being twisted around to be used as such.
Still doesn't make me wish to use it... though I must say it is better than Sex Fruit.
