Re: [tied] Re: Interesting names in Sweden

Thank you for such an interesting and clarifying answer. I haven´t
thought of some of the names to be personal names but now when I look
at the piece of paper where wrote them down it certainly looks like you
are right. I can ask someone in the area if they know. Haven´t had much
luck so far.
