American girl made a SWEDISH doll *Not clickbait* *shocking* *Gone wrong*

Question

hey guys, welcome to my unboxing channel. today we are gonna-

JUST KIDDING- I AM A YOUTUBER BUT I DONT POST TOY REVIEWS

---

so guysguysguys American girl made a Swedish character and eek she's so cute. 

I want you to meet *drumroll plz*........... Kristin Larson

She is so pretty.

anyways, I dont understand why the name Kristin. I am assuming back in the 1800s (this is a historical doll) Kristin is the most used name to Swedish-American girls. We already have Kristina from The Emigrants, we dont need no more Kristins or Kristines or whatever.

she represents The Scandinavian Immigrations to the USA in the 1800s, which I find one of the most interesting parts of Scandinavian history (Beside the Viking age and the Kalmar union) which is understandable she does have that 1800s drip. (These Scandinavian-Americans are older than me and have more drip than me)

she was released in 1986, which was WAYYY before I was born, but they took her away from the store in 2010.. my birthyear.  what an unlucky year to be born in,

anyways who, guess what state does she live in. if you said, Minnesota. You are correct, porbably because Scandinavian-Americans only live there (this is a joke, I know many Scandinavian-Americans who live outside of Minnesota

at that point, I assume they wanted to make their own version of The Emigrants. I mean i kinda do have a theory that Kristin Larsson (American Girl) and Kristina Nilsson (The Emigrants) are the same person.

Answer 1

at least they didnt Army Surname her

Comments

yeah

Army Surnaming is terrible

MY DANISH FRIEND IS ARMY SURNAMED HJELP-

---

Wait, how do army surnames work? I only know how regular surnames work.

---

Basically if you are a Scandinavian-American Immigrant (Finns are an exception, since most of them dont use the traditional Scandinavian surname tradition) who wanted to join the army and you use the typical Scandinavian traditional surname (Dad's name + -sen or -dottir depending on gender) you can (sometimes its forced) to change your surname (and your relatives and children) so they don't confuse everyone as relatives (since most surnames are devired of popular male names, Andersen, Johansen, Jensen, Hanssen etc) . Usually this is temporary but some people choose to keep their Army surname. I usually don't like the idea of Army Surnaming.

Oh.

As another Scandinavian-American, I can confirm that not all of us live in Minnesota. I myself live in Washington (state).
