[Opinions] Re: Fabian
in reply to a message by Bex
I think Fabian sounds good in English. Fabian Lucius Edward is really nice. I also like Emeric, Phineas and Atticus. But Bartholomew is too much of a mouthful imo, and I don't like Bart.In Sweden, many people think of "Fy Fabian", an expression in an Astrid Lindgren book. "Fy Fabian" was a childfriendly version of the common curse "Fy fan" (fan = devil)."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)
