HelpRe: What would you think...
in reply to a message by Ninor
Albin- I like it, I'd assume he's Swedish.
Algot- I'd have a hard time pronouncing it. AL-got? AL-go like Margot? ALL-got?
Alfons- It's ok, but it'd be interesting to meet on. It would be interesting to meet a guy with any of these names honestly.
Alvar- AL-vahr or AL-ver? It's ok. I'd expect him to be Swedish too.
Alve- A little like Alva right? I like it. Another Swede :)
Cornelius- Too pretentious and just ugly sounding imo. I would be shocked to meet someone with this name today; I'd expect him to be old.
Ebbe- Makes me think of the girls name Ebba, which I do like. But because of that I think it sounds feminine.
Frans- I think it'd be really cool to meet a Frans!
Frej / Frey- Frej would have me thinking 100% Scandinavian, and Frey would make me think his parents were trying to find an even trendier surname-name than Grey. It's ok.
Frode- I want to say FROHD, but I have a feeling that's not it. Not a fan, sounds like Frodo.
Henning- I like it! I'd expect him to either be German or from an English speaking country and his parents just wanted a surname-name.
Manfred- I can't take it seriously.
Ossian- Is it like Ocean? OH-see-in? I'm not sure how to say it but I don't really like either pronunciation and for some reason it gives me a trendy vibe even though I know it's not
Ragnar- Very Scandinavian, but I'm not really a fan. I don't like the combination of the g and the n.
Rune- If I hadn't just looked it up I'd pronounce it ROON, but I actually like the real pronunciation a lot. I think you'd definitely have to live somewhere where people know how to say it.
Sixten- Same as Rune- I think a lot of English speakers would say sixteen at first glance.
Stellan-I like it! I think this is one of the most international-frendy Swedish names
Truls- TROOLS? Or maybe TRUHLS? I don't like it, it doesn't sound like a name to me.
Tage- It's decent, but English speakers would probably say TAHG or TAJ
Vide- Sounds like the girl's name Vida so it feels feminine to me... I think most English speakers would say VYDE
Vilme- Sounds like Vilma, so again, too feminine for me.
Viking- I might do a double take if a guy introduced himself as Viking. Then I might laugh. 100% not a fan.
My favorites are Albin, Frans, Henning and Stellan :)
