Sven is the name of the reindeer from the movie Frozen.
I won't use this name because I am not of the origin and it would sound very foreign in the US yet if I were Scandinavian and everyone around familiar with the language and culture, then sure, Sven is a handsome name.
In June/July 2019, Swedish influencer PewDiePie started a show in his YouTube channel featuring a dog, in the game MineCraft, whose name was Sven. As a consequence, several dogs throughout the world have been given this name.
Sven Bender is a German footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder and central defender for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. He was raised in Brannenburg and started his football career playing for TSV Brannenburg. Sven is the twin brother of Lars Bender.
I never would have guessed Sven/Svend meant Boy. Especially seeing that Boy is called Dreng in Danish (my mother tongue), Pojke in Swedish and Gutt in Norwegian. I guess it's an example of how languages change over time.
Ok, this is like calling your kid Boy in English. I guess it's cool for people from Europe, but just not other people, it doesn't go. Although it's a pretty cool name.
