HelpRe: More unusual, interesting old Swedish names and combos
in reply to a message by Cayden
Svenska Dödboken doesn't list people's parents, let alone people's political orientation, but I think it's pretty obvious their parents were communists, yes. During the early days of Soviet Union, people simply didn't have the facts. They didn't know that Soviet wasn't hunkydory and that people were deported and killed. They dreamed about a society without injustice and toil and really believed that communism would give them utopia.
Sweden used to be extremely poor with huge class differences. Only about 100 years ago, people starved. It's not so strange they hoped that communism would bring them happiness and justice.
Today we know it doesn't work, but they didn't know.
No idea where Evilone comes from. Evilda is, I think, a rare female form of Evald. Evilone may be a variant of Evelina, perhaps?
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
