Help[Opinions] OT somewhat: Lego's a Danish brand of toys... (m)
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
The name put together by the Danish words "Leg" (Play) & "Godt" (Well).
There's no Swedish about it. It may be used as a name somewhere - not in Denmark though - cause it is a brand name, but it was coined in here.

Sorry for this, just had to makes some corrections, being Danish and all.

Things can change in dif. languages too though... Didn't say it was a common name...
Here's what the person said (which may have been influenced by her dialect):
well... 'lego' is pronouced differently in swedish, so it's actually quite a nice name, it sounds very sweet. and, if you split it into 'le' and 'go' it actually means 'smile' and 'lovely' in swedish/scanian (scanian is my swedish dialect). :)
PS. Wiki has its cracks in info as well.
