Help[Opinions] Re: Emilius & Vile
in reply to a message by Ninor
Hi Ninor !!!
In Italy as well we have the word 'vile (VEE-le)' but It is not my first thought.
Actually when I saw It I supposed It were a short form of Vilhelm (or an other Scandinavian form of William).
I did not know It is a Old Norse god. Interesting. Can you tell me something about him and his myths? Is this figure still regarded in general culture where you live? I mean maybe in books, films, twisted-tongues or sayings?
Plus: I read that somewhere in Northern Europe, Old Norse Religion is slowly coming back. Is It true? I'm very interested in religions so I'd like to know more about what has happened.
Emilius and all emil-names are boring since I found they means 'rival'.

Norse and Nordic are two different things, and I'm not from Norway so I have no idea if old norse religion is coming back or not but I doubt it - maybe in naming trends but not in a religious way. Oden/Odin is by far the most well known of the brothers (they also have another brother - Ve) and I wouldn't say that Ve and Vile are well known at all.
I've been thinking of it as a nickname to Vile as well, but I'm not sure it would work as the most common nickname is Ville - which is pronounced differently and I'm assuming that everyone would think that Vile was a typo...
