Interchangeable given names - wiki page is gone

Ellen Zaifnejad

I often check this page:

familysearch . org / wiki/en/Sweden_Names,_Personal#Interchangeable_First_Names

specifically to check on what names are interchangeable and what they are.

When I went there this time, it re-directed to another page that does not include the interchangeable names list. Or else the interchangeable paragraph is deleted.

I can't find it in a search either on the wiki or through a search engine.

Where did it go? Can it be put back please?

And, does the name Britta have other interchangeable forms?

( I had to break up the address with spaces to prevent it from auto-linking to the other Sweden personal names page. )

That information disappeared from the FS Wiki a few months ago. I am not sure why.

This site can sometimes be of use for figuring out names: https://www.nordicnames.de/namefinder/ . You can search for names by gender, starts with, ends with, language, length or meaning. If you search for Britta, click on the name at the bottom of the page under Search Result. Then look at Origin and Meaning and Related Names, you may be able to get answers to some of your questions.

Hello @Ellen Zaifnejad and @Norm Baker ,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have no idea why someone would remove it from the FamilySearch Wiki.

I restored the content, see https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Personal_Names.

Thank you, Geoff!
