[Opinions] Re: Jutlandia.
in reply to a message by Charlie
I say go for it, I think it's a great idea. I have a thing for geographical names, and the war association, for me, is more of a "positive war association". Which sounds kind of awful but I mean, the war may have been horrible but she was there to _help_, you know? White as a maiden, brave as an eagle, or however the lyrics go. :-) I like the general sound of it as well, but I pronounce it yut-LAND-ee-ah, that's how it's said here. Which reminds me - when I was little, I planned to name all my future daughters after the Stena Line ships. Danica, Germanica, Jutlandica, Britannica etc. :-D

Yes, Kim Larsen may not be as big here as he is in Denmark but I think Swedes in genereal at least know who he is. I don't know that much about him but I do know that song. :-)
I still like some of the Stena Line names, and the ships are still lovely, but naming ALL my daughters after them is not something I'm still planning on doing... :-)

I`ve never heard of Kim Larsen actually, nor Jutlandia.
And I`m more familiar with the ships going to Finland; ie Rosella, Mariella, Isabella, Cinderella, Amorella etc. And Symphony, Festival, Europa, aand... Birka Princess?
I`m not sure what I think of Jutlandia as a name, but if you really want to you should go for it. There are already so many girls with all the same names, so why not distinguish her a bit.

Ah, okay, so maybe he's not at all that well known here in Sweden then, it was just a feeling I had but I may have been wrong. I'm actually more familiar with the ships going to Finland too, maybe that's why I like the others better as names, Mariella and Amorella etc only remind me of loud, obnoxious, drunk people passing out in the corridors during 24 hour cruises to Helsinki. ;-) I do like Isabella though!
