But maybe Elisabeth or Nana for a girl, and for a boy, I'm not sure, maybe Simon.
im in norge
so... there will be no naming my kids "Congo"
and, well, there will probably be no kids in the first place either.
remember the swedish woman, who named her kid an endless string of numbers? naturally, she was refused to name her kid that way.
also, a fun fact: in norway at least, if you fail to name your kid within a year i think, the local "kommune" will name the kid for you, and use the most repeated name off a list, and in oslo thats currently "mohammed" for boys
Yes I remembered you were from Norway, that was why I wrote what I wrote.
But you could call a dog or cat Congo if you like.
I remember the Swedish woman with the many numbers - and then she said it should be pronounced "Albin".
Maybe you have heard about a similar case in Denmark, about a woman who insisted that her son's name should be "Christophpher" (and it had to be that spelling!!), but she wasn't allowed to, and fought with the system until the boy was 9 years old (and paid fines for so long!) - but at last they allowed the unusual spelling.

yes! i remember "Albin"
i hadnt heard about the danish case tho, Christophpher is awesome
what i DO love is that once your 18, you can name yourself whatever the hell you want.
a friend of mine went from a turkish name to "jonas ek" to sound more norwegian, then after 2 years, changed back. i think he used up his name-changing oportunities w that little stunt.
another friend, in fact the guitarist of the band Gåte, i dunno how well known theyre outside norway, but he added a middle name Robot
thats just amazing.

(btw his place is... as if from a movie. the inside is totally painted down w... colors, i dunno... i hope he doesnt live there anymore. he had computer keyboards hanging from the roof. quite the eccentric... )
the best tho is, NRK (our tv.. ) personality Espen Thoresen, who added Espen Thoresen Hværsaagod, then changed to Espen Thoresen Hværsaagod-Takkskalduha

Haha, funny name
As for Gåte, I only know them because I listened to some songs by the Danish band Sorten Muld, who makes a similar kind of music (folk / rock), I heard them on YouTube, and there were some Gåte videos to the right. Sorten Muld has the song Venelite on one of their albums too, btw.
It's not many years ago we got a new name law in Denmark, where you can change your name after age 18, but I'm not sure you can be allowed to call yourself anything you'd like.
Another example I remember:
Ulla Hornshøj changed her name to Ølla Trompetbakke (Ølla she thought was more near to the Swedish pronounciation of Ulla, and horn = trompet, høj = bakke )

)i guess it would be similar to norway, you get the full liberty, and then they rely on your self respect to set the limits
i BET its also like norway, that you get limited chances.
so if you change your name to "poopy poopesen" and laugh your ass off, you may not be able to change again
to make sure your sure!
in norway i think your allowed ONLY to change back to your original name, once you've changed.
like my friend "jonas ek" once he changed back to his turkish name im pretty certain he used up his chances.
and wtf ØLLA?
how is Ølla more swedish btw?
there are also old names, that are fun, a norwegian classic is "kitty fitte" http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty_Grande
awesome coincidence, she was a collaborator w the germans, and would get... that name

I'm not sure how many chances you have to change your name in Denmark. I wouldn't do it anyway.
Kitty Fitte? Hmmm not a very "lucky" name in Norway I guess (it would be less loaded in Denmark, but anyway...)
It said in the article about Ulla / Ølla that she thought that "Ølla" sounded more close to the Swedish pronounciation of "Ulla". (As for me, the name Ølla just makes me associate to beer!
)

oh and i didnt know _that_ word wasnt the same in danish, swedish uses it, so i thought it was "pan scandinavian"
ah well, theyre sending "paradise hotel denmark" on tv now, so i guess ill find out all the words. that show hurts so much, but allready it looks like the danish version will make the norwegian one look like bible school. naughty naughty danes!

Yeah we're terrible I know
I haven't seen it though, that's not a kind of program that applies to me.
As for the Scandinavian "F word", the Danish version has a double S in the middle instead of a double T (enough said).
BTW I've discovered Fattern's songs on Youtube and think they are quite hilarious. I laughed a lot the first time I came across one, and also since. (Don't know how he gets those funny ideas?? Poteter på badet? Badekarret til Pelle?
) Sometimes his humour is a bit childish I think, and sometimes the humour is so bad / actually not-funny that it gets funny.
