[Opinions] Re: Aage
Hi !!!I personally prefer the form Åge.
It looks more elegant.I like it.
Possibly this person has Norwegian ancestry.I disagree with the previous comment: why choosing traditional names should be linked with suprematists? This is absurd. Maybe people just dislike the thousands Daniel or Jonas.I personally like many old-fashioned Italian names but I strongly disagree with any extremism and fascist ideas as well. Dividing people with this criteria Is not fair. It's superficial and dangerous too.Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456

I stand by my comment. There is a growing issue in historical re-enactment circles of white supremacists trying to hook into Viking / Norse imagery and mythology to justify their beliefs. We've had to kick people out of my society for it, and there are numerous other accounts if you look them up. Likewise, Norse Pagan circles have a very fraught history with white supremacism.If someone with no other connection to Scandinavia uses a very Scandinavian name, I'm going to look at them askance until I see that they're safe to be around.
