[Opinions] Re: Ebbe v Ebba (ETA)
in reply to a message by Bear
Yes, Ebbe and Ebba are the male and female versions of the same name. :) It's not unusual for Germanic/Nordic names to have a male version ending in -e and a female counterpart ending in -a. Inge / Inga, Tore / Tora and Göte / Göta are some more common examples. And they're not pronounced the same - Ebbe ends in an e like in "set", while Ebba ends in an "uh" sound.I have another batch of these ready, I'll make sure to post them soon. ;)
