How common or uncommon is the name Valtyr in Sweden?
Valtyr is an Old Norse name more common in Iceland than Scandinavian countries.
However, Iceland and Sweden are first-cousins so they're all family.
If an ethnic Swedish boy (100% Swedish blood) would be named Valtyr in today's Sweden would that be a little weird?
What about Old Swedish places/towns/counties within Sweden like Dalarna? Would it be more common to find Old Swedish names like Valtyr in Dalarna?

2 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoDo I stay in class or drop it??? PLEASE HELP ME?
I'm taking an intro to Chemistry class and I'm failing it so far. It's midterm right now and I haven't been going to class for almost 3 and 1/2 weeks. I know it sounds stupid to probably 99% of the population but the reason is because I've been so horribly horribly depressed that I've neglected everything, gained weight, and I feel so apathetic and emotionless.
My proffessor emailed me and she let me know that she's planning on dropping me this week if i don't show up for class. The thing is that it's sink or swim right now and I feel so lost. I have no-one to talk to sincerely and I fear people's judgements. Please, what do I do?
Just give me something, anything. PLEASe!

1 AnswerOther - Cultures & Groups8 years agoWhat do you think about this Male name?
My last name is Vanderbilt and my husbands last name is Hemsworth.
We both love the name Beauregard (and it is extra special for me because it was my beloved grandfather's name).
We have decided to name our first son Beauregard.
However, lately I've been having some serious second thoughts because I'm worried it is too much.
Beauregard Hemsworth. My friend said the name sounded like an Southern Company.
I LOVE the name Beauregard because it reminds me of my grandfather and makes me think of Southern nobility. But it is a bit too much. Even; Beauregard Vanderbilt is too much.
Help.

3 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoMy boyfriend is "liking" and adding a lot of random girls on fb?
He's always adding a lot of random wh*re girls on fb. He likes all of their pictures.
I'm a little jealous only because I wonder if he's also messaging them too.
I DON"T want to ask him about it or even mention it because I don't want him to think I'm way too clingy or involved in his business. I don't want to be, on purpose.
So, should I be worried? Or am I taking FB too seriously?

1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment9 years agoAm I depressed - moderately or severely?
Well I'm female. I'm 20 (about to turn 21 on November 5th).
I think I've really been depressed for almost two years in December. And especially this year and last year I've been depressed (or so I think, I haven't been to a doctor). I've gained 20+lbs. Sometimes I just get so pessimistic about everything in my life. I often think of the though of suicide. Mostly as my safe plan, not actually of committing suicide, it's more of a comforting thought. I know this sounds so very cliche but I really cannot find anyone who understands me. I have no friends. I'm in college and I have no friends. I had friends in highschool but none of them go to college with me. I have no job. And I feel like my life is going no-where. I panic thinking about this, and I get very depressed. It wasn't always like this.
Straight out of highschool I went immediately into college, and I had a 4.0 GPA. I had also lost 56lbs. I went from 186lbs to 129lbs. I felt great. I had the best self esteem I've ever had in my entire life. I felt beautiful. I felt optimistic about my life and especially a great future for myself. But then at the end of last year I began to become depressed. For no particular reason. I would be so depressed I would hardly get dressed anymore, I wouldn't even go to most of my classes. And when I did I was tortured by being there. I began to feel like I hadn't lost enough weight (when before I was completely happy with my weight). But I know I'm not depressed because of my weight. My weight gain is a side-effect of my depression not the cause. I'm not sad because I've gained weight.
I also cut myself, and my arms. Sometimes when I'm overwhelmed by my feelings. A lot of the times when I'm derpressed I cut myself. A lot of the time because I want to feel pain, something. I feel like crying even as I type this.
I don't know how to talk to a doctor about this. What do I say? "Hey, I think I'm depressed".
I just want to die, but then I don't. I feel lonely and tired, and sad, and pathetic, and pessimistic, and angry, and scared.
