Well hello everyone! Actually my first name is Björn, like the one who looked like a monkey in Abba ;) and my second name is Alexander, but that's also my given name. So you can call me Al if you want ;) Most of my friends and family calls me Alex and that's the name that I prefer. Alexander is a quite common name in sweden and in many other countries. It's the same as Alessandro, Aleksander, Alec(I think?). |

Actually, I don't know if the Finnish Swedish calendar is the same as the Swedish one, we have three if you count in the Russian Orthodox one, too… My nameday is 19.5. with all the names like Emma, Emilia, Milla, Milja etc. |

Well I know that we have Emma and Emilia because they're swedish names as well, but I'll do a little research ;) |

Julieta (Juliet but in Spanish), but everyone calls me Juli because I hate my name.
It's pronounced like Julie but the J sounds different in Spanish. It's like a strong H. |

I can't believe Ric is really Jorge. That's too cool!
I'm Moray. (Like Bill Murray). I'm named after either a district / body of water in the north of Scotland or an Eel. Depending on who you believe |

AND you are Anne with an E. Like Anne of Green Gables! |
