HelpRe: Swedish March BAs
in reply to a message by babybackribs
Ah, so that's why I thought Albert and Arthur sounded so very royal. I agree that it's great. :)
Melvin is a "cool" (but not very classy) name here, along with names like Kevin, Liam and Milton. (As a broad rule, English names are classy if they were borrowed more than a century ago - Alice, Lilly, John, Henry - but more or less trashy if they were borrowed more recently - Hailey, Nicole, Jimmy, Melvin ...)
Sixten - click it! ;) Sixteen in Swedish is sexton.
Even though Moa is a common name here, I always think of that extinct bird too! Plus it rhymes with the common Swedish word for toilet ... I don't like it very much. ;)
Alve should be a boy.
