[Opinions] Re: The name of a female Danish radio/TV host.
I love Elisabeth (and this spelling rules!), but Andrea is nms. They don't seem to flow too well, either. Is Andrea Danish??? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Andrea ends in a vowel and Elisabeth starts with one, so the names seem to run together a bit.

It's not strictly Danish.Albeit Andrea have been with us for a lot of decades. It was most popular in the first few decades of the 19th century. The thing with the flowing... I think it depends on the language you speak. In what tongue you pronounce the names in and so on. Including how the names flows. In the Danish pronouncing, the two names flows excellent together. No matter the vowels and all.{Edit: Grammar.}
