HelpRe: Trygve
in reply to a message by Llewella
It's used in Sweden, although it's rare (and usually spelled Tryggve). We pronounce it TRYG-veh (short y sound, as in "very").
I can't really see it on a young guy; to me it sounds like a very old man.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

Should also add that "trygg" means "safe" in Sweden. In some areas "ve" is used, meaning "woe".
So Safewoe isn't really appealing as a name to me. :) Sounds ridiculous although I know it's used although not on someone younger than my grandpa.

Interesting. Not knowing anything about it, I think it had a more youthful sound. The one I met was like 40-45.

I agree. As someone on the outside (US) it has a youthful sound.
Sarah Palin named her son Trigg as a play on Trygve, which is not well known, but is the closest association we have with the name here.
