Welcome Kent. My wife has two dozen relatives in Norway, scattered throughout. Where are You? And what's with the English name? Aren't all male Norwegians named Olaf?

Thanks everyone!
I live in the Sognefjord, west coast of Norway.
We're pretty much past using only viking names here :lol: But my middle name is "Are" wich is an old norwegian name..

Do you visit Norway often?

I've never been. My wife, a few trips, Relatives visit us now and then. My father in law was named Olaf Nielsen. I wonder if that might be the most common name in Norway. He was born in 1912, came to USA on his twentieth birthday, and took much of the credit for introducing skiing to USA. I think he exaggerated a bit.

I actually only know 1 man called olav, he runs the local pub around here.. Names you often hear is Anders and Andreas..
You should visit Norway sometime, but it's a little expensive.. And i would'nt reccomend Oslo..

My wife's cousin in Byremo would be our first stop. She and her family have visited us a number of times.
