HelpRe: More unusual, interesting old Swedish names and combos
in reply to a message by Caprice
Hi Caprice!!!
I love the combos Irma Cosette and Olga Hedvig!!
I'm also interested in Mariane Dusine Severine.
All these combos are elegant and cool as well.
I also like some single names: Stina (a long-time Scandinavian fave), Eufrosyne, Bergljot, Dagliv, Lenina (after Lenin? It is nice) and Carmen.
What about all these variant of Amore?
There is Amore, Amora, Amory, Amorose, Amorita...
Amore is "love" in Italian (via Latin) so I'm really surprised to see all this variants in Sweden...Was there a reason why?

All the names are from Sveriges Dödbok, a digital database listing facts about every Swedish person who died between 1901 and (in the version I use) 2009. It's used by genealogists, archivists, etc.
The reason for all the "amore" names is simply that I searched for names beginning with "Amor". Then I got the names of every Swedish person who died between 1901 and 2009 and had a name beginning with Amor! So there have really just been a handful of them. If ou search for every Swedish person called Sven or Karin, for example, you get ten thousands of matches!
Yes, Lenina is most certainly after Lenin.
