Why are there not more non-western 3 generation indvandere, called Ida, Emma, Oliver and Victor? Man must call his children, what you will. But I think it is interesting that not more have traditional Danish names, when you are on the third generation living in Denmark. #dkpol

Your name is of Hebrew origin, my is Latin. Same with the rest of the thread (Lars, Per, Mike, Benny, Alice, Jørgen). Only Allan comes close with the celtic origin. Unless your name is Thor or Gunhild should probably take it easy around the names.

And your own name means “Jehovah will judge” and is a jewish name from the Middle east. Why called your parents you not a more nordic name?

you Can get a little more into to what thoughts it evokes in you when you now say it is thought-provoking?

Is not something I think about and seem, in fact it is charming with the different names. They must not all be called Karen, Maren and Mette.

Joachim B. Olsen, says to Ekstra Bladet, that he hears about many of non-western origin, who can feel torn by their parents ‘ culture and the Danish culture, and the divisions he understands very well.
He emphasizes that he has no desire to legislate that people must not give their children muslim or arab names, but calling it thought-provoking that there are several 3. generation non-western immigrants with Danish names:
It amazes me that in several generations have lived in Denmark, that you continue to choose to give his children names, which is not an incorporated part of the Danish culture, he says to Ekstra Bladet.
More accusing Joachim B. Olsen for not having the evidence to back his claim, and he admits that he has no evidence to support his claim.
– I do not sit with one or another list, but I’m pretty sure that I have the right, says Joachim B. Olsen.
On the question on whether he is surprised by the debate, his tweet has created, is the answer:
the Debate comes prompt to act about something else. It is like that there is someone who is completely conscious will misunderstand what I’m saying and take it as an attack on people who give their children a non-English name.
– To send a signal with the name one gives to his children, explains Joachim B. Olsen to Ekstra Bladet.
– Why does it matter now?
– It is just such a thought, I’ve gone and had. Why is it actually such. It is just the question I ask.
– I think many will think that it is the sign of integration, you take the culture you live in, if you call her baby for john, above Ali, he says.
from the comments, there is tikket into politikerens lookup, it seems not to, that there are quite many who share his sense of wonder, but it will now not Joachim B. Olsen to regret its lookups:
– I regret it not at all. I think it is a relevant question to ask, and I haven’t really gotten some good answers on it.
– The best answer I have received is that there was one who thought we had to wait for several generations.
– But is there an answer to your question?
– It may well be that it just takes longer than I think, says Joachim B. Olsen.
