Sorry, I couldn't be bothered to read the whole topic so this might have been said previously...

 

I believe there is a trend where Norwegian parents are concerned their kids' names will sound wierd or be aquard to pronounce abroad. Lots of teens decide to sudy abroad and having a Norwegian name might cause a few laughs.

A famous example is our own Celina Middelfart. Then again; it's her family name causng a "smelly feeling" to it, but it under lines my point.

 

I have an uncle called Odd wich is not a very cool name to introduce yourself with in yhe UK.
