HelpRe: Unexpected names
in reply to a message by Ninor
I had a classmate named Vera, which is common among older women and also has gained some popularity for children today, but this Vera was born in 1979.
My cousin's son, who was born in 2015, is called Bertil, which is still mostly found on old men (it was my cousin's other grandpa's name - he really wanted to name his son Lennart after our grandpa, but his wife didn't like that), but it has started to gain some popularity for children born today. Although several persons cringe at a little cute boy being called Bertil! But we call him Berra, which is a common Swedish nn for Bertil.
I also know a woman whose children are called Helge and Harriet, which I think sound like grandparents.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
