How many first names can people have in different nooks of the world? Nowadays Swedes can have any number from one upwards, but most have only two. (I and my son have three each, but I never use Jung 'coz most people -- even Swedes -- think it's a surname.) BTW there is on record a Swede having 29 names -- one for each letter of the Swedish alphabet [A-ZÅÄÖ]! -- /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch at melroch dot se Solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant!
