Help[Opinions] Some "Swedish" names according to a baby names sight
Ang: What is this, a short form of Angst or Anger? Certainly not a Swedish fn.
Beck: This is a Swedish surname, usually spelt Bäck.
Bergren: Berggren is a common Swedish SURNAME. Surnames are not used as fn in Sweden.
Brand: "brand" means "fire" in Swedish. Not used as a fn.
Burr: "burr" is what you say when you feel really cold. Not used as a fn in Sweden.
Carson: Not used in Sweden, unless by some immigrant from USA.
Dana: This IS used in Sweden but it is very uncommon (390 women and 59 men).
Denholm: Sounds more like a Swedish surname ("holm" means "small island" in Swedish)
Fisk: Means "fish" in Swedish, I'm quite sure that noone would give this as a name to their child. I doubt it would even be allowed by the authorities.
Gala: There is 1 (one!) woman in Sweden with this name. Probably an immigrant, since "gala" is a verb meaning "crow" in Swedish.
Hadrian: Adrian is the version used in Sweden. But there actually is one man named Hadrianus.
Jaythen: Typical American, looks very un-Swedish to me.
Trind: Not a Swedish fn, "trind" means "chubby, plump" in Swedish. But there is a popular girl's name Tindra. Also a few girls named Trina (a short form of Katrina)
Now, how do YOU like these names?
"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."
