Haha, yes, definitely Scandinavian!I discovered Febe through being sad that the lovely Phoebe doesn't really work in Swedish. Then I remembered it's Greek, and from how Greek names usually are transcribed into Swedish, I figured Phoebe ought to be spelled Febe in Swedish. And when I googled that, I discovered that Febe is indeed the "real" Swedish form. :)Glad you like Fale! I should probably point out that it's two syllables and does not sound like "fail". :P
