Does nobody know the derivation of the name? Diomedea Exulans (talk) 08:52, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lots More Oves?[edit]

I happened to stumble over the Ove article after reading A Man Called Ove (novel) and hearing some great music played by Leif Ove Andsnes. I wondered why there were so few entries in the article for what I knew was a popular Scandinavian given name – an even dozen names, to be exact.

So I went to work and soon there were no less than 92 Oves listed, plus the book and the movie. I guess that's pretty cool, but the question occurs to me – do we really need a dab-page for a given name? I've worked on a bunch of dab-pages for last names and really appreciate their usefulness, but who needs this ???

I would appreciate hearing the thoughts of other wiki-editors. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 14:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
