HelpWind
I am going sailing this weekend. Today I got a call from the guy in charge of the class. His name is Wind. WDYT?
(I assume he chose the name himself, being a sailor and all)

Why not Vind? I guess he wanted to be more international and didn't realise how unfortunate Wind actually is.
Vind is nice. It has an old Norse feeling to it and seems more like a name.

I can't really comment on how it works in Swedish. In English it's awful because of all the ways the word wind is used. If I try to imagine the word wind is used exclusively for strong breezes, though, I could see it working out. Eccentric, but namey. Like Clint or Vince, and like Bear or Ocean.

Passing wind?

Given my brothers' reactions when Renault made a car called the Wind I wouldn't want to live with this name.

or possibly ...
His parents were also sailors.
Or maybe he had awful gas as a baby.

Given that I know his last name (nothing out of the ordinary), I found his middle names on birthday.se. They are both very common Swedish names. So I still think he picked it himself. I might have to ask when I meet him this weekend.

That would be unfortunate in English.

Almost as bad some racer would name himself Fart (speed in Swedish, for those who didn't know)

Here in Italy 'Wind' is a telecom operator (mobile phones, Internet...). So I can think only about this link.
