Are you retarded? Queen Kristina resigned as regent in 1644, and relinquished all claims to the throne to the benefit of Karl X of the Pfalzisch (sp?) line. I'm ashamed to be associated with you.

@Faberge: You know how to pronounce Aslög but not Bo? :D Unfortunately I think Bo sounds quite mundane and boring to the swedish ear. Not as quite as bad as Ingmar, which sounds inbred and rural, but still not good. About the same as Bertil I would say. :)

As soon as we find out the gender, I'll contribute.

By the way, fable, do I sense some inspiration from me helping to name the DCI lich a while back?

That's already been determined. It's androgynous. See above.
Indeed. They should name it " ", And later when it grows it could add a new letter say once every 5 years. It would make it's name a window into it's history and also provide entertainment later in life, when the name is harder to pronounce.
When not try that in reverse? Give the kid an extremely long name, then drop off a letter each year. This has the added advantage in youth of allowing the child to pass for Welsh, which may make it a few more friends than if it states that it's Swedish.

Or, how about Darth Cheney? Kinda redundant, I know, but that's the beauty of it.

Ah! Teaches me to be absent for a while. The data was uploaded...and now download is on the way. Excellent news, really. :)

Names...such a broad arena here. Perhaps you dream of breaking the mold and wish to consider the following names?

If the offspring is male:
Atilla (my #1 choice, personally)
Crispus
Barbarossa
Amenhotep

If the offspring is female:
Valkyrie
Kali
Shar
Viconia (my #1 choice, personally)

Congratulations to the both of you! :)

@Tricky: Borg doesn't only sound Swedish, it is a Swedish name, although a surname.

We don't need friends in Sweden. We use the TV. Well, not me of course, but you know... Other people.
Or, how about Darth Cheney? Kinda redundant, I know, but that's the beauty of it.
I thought you were concerned about friends? Darth Ahmed Yassin would be both cooler and get it more friends as well. :)

@Chanak: I like Barbarossa. A really powerfull name. :D

What do you guys think of Quetzalqoatl? Could work with Fable's scheme, and we'll just call him Q when he gets old. :D

Yeah, comes with great hair, too. By the way, Quetzalqoatl tells me that if you go with this, he wants godfather rights.
I like Barbarossa. A really powerfull name.
Gummo Bergman Barbarossa. I think it's a keeper.

Conversely, a name like Carpeted Fish at least wouldn't have your child confused with anybody else as they went through life. If someone yells out "Hey, Carpeted Fish!" there are unlikely to be more than 2, or at best 3 people in any group of 100 who will answer.

Ah, poor woman but a very beautiful name.

I just did ultrasound today, it is most likely a girl but it's not for sure, it had its' legs crossed right over the genitalia all the time.
