HelpRe: Some more unusual Swedish names (and combos)
in reply to a message by Felie
It's just nice that you write a lot and it's fun to learn Italian names of plants! I studied both Italian and Latin in school, but I never practice them.
Sixtina was probably used for a sixth child, or perhaps they had expected a boy and wanted to name him Sixten. I've never seen Sixtina earlier, it's extremely rare here (Sixten is pretty common, though).
Blåsippa is normally not used as a name, neither is Lingonris. We don't have many common plant names; those I can think of are Linnéa, Viola (from viol) and Rosa (from ros). I've seen more unusual flower names like Norna (Calypso bulbosa) and Pyrola (wintergreen), but they are very rare.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
