There's both names now. And it's a while ago since that book was taken that seriously; language changes. And i didn't state a opinion, but what you hear around here, what is. Btw, my niece is named Linn. Does that sound german to you?

    You do realise we're in a thread about etymology right?

    Your nice has a beautiful name that might be a shortened form of Sieglinde or Linda, but i would take a wild guess that she's a german girl who's family roots are in eastern asia.

    Uh, no, i saw it in c/all. My bad.

    who's family roots are in eastern asia.

    Nope. But internet and airplanes changed things. Which is what i tried to say before.
    But a scandinavian origin (the name), i didn't thought of that, thanks.
