ArchivesRe: some norse names
in reply to a message by Lilith
Belldandy is absolutely adorable and you know it, Lilith. ^_- Anyway, I've seen really really pure purist fans of Oh My Goddess! also write it as Berudandi. Verethanti/Verdandi (I've seen both in Norse mythology, actually) to Berudandi isn't so complicated, and because l and r sound alike and a y is easy to tack on a name, Belldandy was born! At least, I'm pretty sure it went that way. Something like that...

So . . . it's like an Anglicization of a Japanization of a Norse name? Psychedelic. Verdandi to Berudandi would make sense, although I have seen "v" in Japanese, as a "u" with the little two-mark thingy over it . . . I don't think it's very standard, though.
Adorable? Bah! It's cloying! >:P
