I am from Norway, me and some friends went to London, We were asked what our names was, This is a tru story, I answered I am Petter, she is Randi, he is Bård And he is Odd In English it turned out hilarious she is Randy he is bored and he is odd

One thing worth mentioning is that double first names are very common. I'm not talking about middle names, but two first names which are both spoken as if it were a single name. There are certain conventions as to which names can go first and last, and usually it's a one syllable name plus a two syllable name. So for example, Per Gunnar, Jan Tore, Ann Kristin, Kjell Ivar etc. A combination of two single syllable names is quite rare. "Arnt" is a male first name which is almost never encountered without a name combination, with the second name almost always beginning with a vowel. Arnt Egil, Arnt Ivar, Arnt Erik, Arnt Inge... Two double-syllable names are sometimes encountered, such as Ole Ivar, Johann Martin etc. But usually it's a 1+2 combo Sometimes people do use a given name as a middle name. I once knew a guy called Christian Fredrik, and he chose to use Fredrik as his first name and Christian as his middle name - except it came first. So he was C. Fredrik. Made it all a bit upper class (but then he did come from a wealthy family). Additional note: "Eli" is known most parts of the world as a male name, but in Norway it's female. "Inge" is a female name in Germany, but a male name in Norway. "Janne" is male in Finland, but female in Norway.

Thanks for the video!! I know the pronunciation of "d" in the "nd" combination in Norwegian sometimes depends on the dialect, so I was wondering if there are people who would pronounce names like "Linda" or "Anders" as "Linna" and "Anners?"

My Norwegian grandpa was named Mads. His name was Americanized to Matt when he came through Ellis Island. My American family aren’t sure how to pronounce Mads and our grandpa is no longer here. I think it is pronounced like Mus, rhymes with Bus. Can you help us with this, please?

My name is Freya and I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd possibly 3rd child (might be twins) and so far we have Runa but struggling to find a 2nd girl name

Perhaps you could explain Norwegian last names and how they came about. As I understand it, my great-grandfather's first name was Kristian so his children took the last name Kristiansen. I think this practice ended in the late 1800's. My grandfather, Anton Kristiansen, had children who should have taken the last name of Antonsen under the old system but, instead, kept the name Kristiansen. When my grandfather brought his family through Ellis Island in 1928 the name was Americanized to Christensen. The first names were also Americanized. My father, Kjell, became Charles. I would also like to know why the Norwegian names usually end in -sen while Swedish names end in -son.

not anna else kristoffer and hans being in the list 💀

Joban forkortelse for Joakim

Which of these names are native Norvegian and not international?

I like " karsten " 😅

Question! Long time follower, but I need help with a few names. I know you can’t do a video for 2 names, but if anyone Norwegians can help with audio if he forget grateful. The names are Solveig and Ingveig. Please help. Thanks all 🙏🏽

Jeg heter Santiago men kallenavnet mitt er San is this sentence gramatically correct?

How pronounce Tøssebro please? (Tuh- seh- bro)?

Even😔💞💞

“Call name” in English is the name that you use to call your dog. Let’s say you name your dog Alexander. Dogs respond better to one or two syllable names, so you would shorten the name Alexander to Al or Alex when trying to get your dog’s attention.

Where is Lise? I was born in Oslo and no one outside of Norway can pronounce my name correctly for 55 years!!
