[Opinions] Swedish celebrity BA
Swedish TV presenter Linda Lindorff and her Danish husband Jacob welcomed a third daughter some time ago. Now they have announced her name:Benedicte Susanna JacobineOlder sisters are Lykke Wilhelmina Kirsten and Wilhelmina Leia Marianne. Benedicte's names are all honouring, and I think most of Lykke's and Wilhelmina's are too - at least I know Wilhelmina is for the Swedish town Vilhelmina, where Linda grew up. I think little Benedicte got a lovely name! :) WDYT?

Pleasant surprise!Before I clicked on this, I was expecting it to be some name that's considered tacky in Europe, like Elvis.

Except for Leia, I like all the names. Lykke, Wilhelmina and Benedicte...maybe Lykke should have had a longer name, but I still like the trio.

Wow, Benedicte Susanna Jacobine is shatteringly beautiful!

That's really lovely! I'm not a huge fan of Benedicte, but Benedict-names are sort of European classics, and Susanna Jacobine is truly gorgeous.Wilhelmina Leia Marianne is beautiful as well, but how do you pronounce Lykke? And I'm not completely sure I like that they used Wilhelmina for both daughters.

Lykke pronounced (in Norwegian but it's the same in Swedish): http://www.forvo.com/search/lykke/no/And I think they should have used Wilhelmina either for just one child, or for all three.

I had high expectations of them and they didn't disappoint! I love it! Especially Benedicte and Jacobine. I also love Wilhelmina.
