"White Boys," a new Norwegian series set in Oslo, 720p

Ida Helen Goytil, Hanna Maria Gronneberg and Ane Viola Semb in s1e4

One thing I had fun with when I lived in Oslo is that Norwegians more often than not go by multiple names. Their given names are rarely just Tor or Per or Stine, but usually something like Tor Finn or Per Ole or Stine-Sofie.

Or, as you can see above, Ida Helen, Hanna Maria or Ane Viola. Extra names abound.

They are like the Texans of Europe.

Given that, I affixed a Texan suffix for any my Norsk colleagues so impoverished that they used only one name. I renamed them Svein Bob or Grethe Bob or Ole Jack. Amazingly enough, they found this charming and even started calling each other by these names.

A strange people.

(Making it even more complicated is that it is also fairly common for Norwegians to use dual last names. They do love names.)
