Help[Opinions] Re: Svea
in reply to a message by overtheclouds
"Svaya" is all right in English, but it doesn't actually rhyme with Freya in Swedish. The first syllable is more like the word "sphere" (only without any R sound).
It would be unexpected on a non-Swedish child, but not too odd. But personally, I don't even really like Swedes using it, it sounds too nationalistic in my opinion. Probably not the general Swedish opinion though, considering how popular it is.
