"Gunilla" are common enough here in Sweden thou. It may be another derivation.Swindle1984 wrote:Since we're on the subject of names, I found something curious: despite being pretty famous in Nordic and Germanic folklore, and once having been a very popular girl's name, Gunnhilda (Gonnhildr, Gunhildr, and various other variations) no longer appears to exist as a name. According to statistics on how popular a given name is, they couldn't find a single instance of anyone currently alive having that name.

As long as there wasn't a generation where literally every first-born son and/or daughter received the same first name, I think you're fine. My bunch did that, and all moved into the same town. We have no idea who some of the kids are supposed to be the child of, because everyone's named the same, and a few kids got swapped around when their parents were short on food, or money, or maybe someone else needed a live-in babysitter, and there were so many of us there that they named the town after us.asaenvolk wrote:My RL name would translate into "Goddess of the shabby and unkempt", because technically my first name is God, but in the feminine form (its a family name soooo)
