Names from a Swedish magazine
These are names from a Swedish children's magazine, Kamratposten (means something like "The Friend Paper"), that often writes about children in other countries than Sweden. Although it's for children, I still think it's fun to browse it, because I've always been interesting in how people live in other countries than my own. I even collect old copies of the magazine.Here are some names from the stories about other countries:Denmark: Joyce, Nick, Anna, Pernille, Line, Rikke, Samuel, Jesper
