[[ q&a ]] Human names for the un-named

I'm interested in what you guys like to call Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Why am I asking? Because I'm putting them in my Sims game and I need to give them a name. 

Is there any fan!canon surrounding the names of these characters? Are there any official names that I don't know of? Anything like that~

Discuss away 8D

I've seen Denmark being called Mathias quite often.

[identity profile] rabieskatten.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Those are the names I usually use;

Denmark; Mathias
Norway; Haakon, Christian, Lucas
Iceland; Einar
Iceland's bird; Lundar ('puffin' in icelandic)

All those are fanfic/roleplay-based.

I think the fan canon name for Denmark was Matthias?
Also, someone mentioned something about Lucas being a name for Norway, but I don't know for sure.
Hope it helps?

I can't think of Denmark without thinking of Hamlet lololol
Don't think they have official names yet. Wonder why tho

No Kaoru's not a Chinese name, tho you can still read the kanji in Chinese.

[identity profile] arialyn.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hong Kong means "incense/fragrant harbour" in Chinese, and Kaoru means "fragrance/incense" in Japanese. So, some people just choose to call him that.

Hong Kong I've heard ppl call him Kaoru or Horace lol. I just straight up call him Hong or Xiang. lol...It works XD.

Hmm... Norway.. -Tries think of a famous author with typical Norwegian name-

Alexander Kielland
Jens Bjørneboe
Jørgen Moe
Knut Hamsun
Kjell Askildsen

OwO Can't chose xD I want Norway to have a cool name~

[identity profile] cavall0ne.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, these are probably some of the most common Norwegian names:

Christian (Kristian)
Alexander (Aleksander)
Andreas
Martin
Jonas
Markus

Or if you want a more old fashioned name:

Jan
Ole
Jørgen
Geir
Per
Knut
Lars
Hans

But these are real ugly IMO.

RP account, pfff.

Because of the people I RP with...

Denmark = Mathias
Norway = Liev
Iceland = Sindre
Hong Kong = Mao... I think. D'8 I can't remember exactly since his nickname is Gyaru and that's what we call him in OOC chats. X'D
Thailand = Sunan, I think...

8'3

Hong Kong = Kho Li in my RPs.

[identity profile] nighteevee.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Kjell Magne Bondevik.

It doesn't get more Norwegian than that. Or BJØRNSTJERNE BJØRNSON FOR MAXIMUM MANRY + matching Sweden.

Either way you don't name a boy 香 lol that is a girls name... I'm sure China wanted a boy :P

[identity profile] hagane-no-mame.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea for one, but it's ok for Hong Kong to have an English given name... though he probably didn't start out with one, he would have adopted one for use in English since it is still one of his official languages.

For ex. a lot of HKers would write their name like this in English: James Ka Ming Cheung, James as the English given name Cheung the surname, Cheung Ka Ming is his full Chinese name, ect... but don't use my example Cheung Ka Ming is a horribly boring Chinese name lol.

HAA

On the topic of unoffical names, I have heard people calling Holland "Lars". Not sure if is canon, who knows but I stick with that name for him :'D

I could also see Norway being Christian/Kristian considering how its the most religious out of all the Scandinavian countries

[identity profile] aluox.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh.. I usually just call them by thier country name if they dont have human names.. but here's some..

Denmark - Mathias
Norway - Lars
Thailand - Niran (means Forever. Another one I keep seeing is Aroon, meaning Dawn)

i have seen this name for Denmark, pop up in a few irl conversations about this, and the name i see is Denmark – Kennet Stryker

[identity profile] manlierthanyou.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I was just thinking that!
The Denmark in our roleplay was named Nikolej, which is a pretty hot name.

[identity profile] hanabibi-chan.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Nikolaj is kinda hot! <3
