These are the contestants:
Maria,
Charlotte,
Arwen (her parents must be ardent Tolkien fans!), Fahrie,
Anna Maria,
Emilie, Janni, Jazzmine,
Mikaela.
And No 1-3 from last year:
Elina,
Maja and Madelene
To me, they all sound rather commonplace and mainstream, except for
Arwen and Fahrie. I believe Fahrie is either Arabic or Persian.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (
Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
