Papa Maccus PrimusSwedish nicknames are so incredibly generic. Basically, any Swedes who share a first name also share the same nickname. It's almost as if the nickname is just an unofficial alternative quicker way of pronouncing the name. Andreas = Adde Robert = Robban Cecilia = Cissi / Cilla Magnus = Mange Anna = Anna (they don't get a nickname because Anna is quick enough) etc. I wish we had more personal and unique nicknames. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Sweden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sweden</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Sverige" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sverige</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/nicknames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nicknames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/names" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#names</a>
