Now we know why Sweden is importing so many refugees named Mohammed. They want to make life easier for women who can’t pronounce Swedish names.
Raggy, baby. dump this high maintenance mutt hole and get yourself a real Swede.
We are now at the point where some woman says something mildly amusing on TikTok and it makes the newspapers.
I don’t believe it. It’s not hard to pronounce Ragnar. And we’re to believe she’s never been in a situation where she’s had to introduce her husband to her friends? Did she call this guy “Baby” from their first date? When she talks to her friends, does she refer to her husband as “Baby”? Heck, if you google “how to pronounce ragnar” you can hear the pronunciation.
She can’t pronounce ... blah, blah, blah ...
Liar. While waiting on the video to load and The Mirror to download all kinds of crap on my computer, I just pronounced Ragnar, Ragoofles, Ragwench and whole bunch of other words worse than Ragnu.
RagNAR, I mean.
She could call him Raggy. Even Scooby can say that.
You mean the nicknames aren’t so the don’t say the wrong name during sex?
“Oh, Baby!”
This is why many men think their nickname is “God”
You never even call me by my name."

You don’t have to worry much longer, gal. Swedes are not replacing themselves and the Great Replacement is moving in swiftly, so you’ll be hearing a lot more names like “mohamed”.
“...’I’ve been calling my husband a nickname for years as I can’t pronounce his real name’”
Must be a democrat woman...his name is Bill.
I can’t pronounce my wife’s first name either (she’s also from the other side of the planet). And the thing is, any guy who can pronounce his wife’s name probably chose badly, given what our society has become.
I’m trying to decide whether to give her a pass or not. How big are her...uhhh....tracts of land?
Attention whore....

Unless you're chinese: "Wagnahw." Or Vietnamese: "Wrang nyahhhr."
My Swedish friend likes to say,”What’s dumber than a dumb Norwegian? A smart Swede!”
I have a friend named Julius. I always pronounced his name Joo-Lee_us, in 3 syllables, until one day he corrected me. I protested. He said look it up, and he was right. His name is only 2 syllables, Jool-yus.
