ah i have no idea, but 'björk' means a birch tree in some
scandinavian languages.

there till august... maybe we'll bump into each other...

Heh, I doubt that she was named after a town named Björk.
Doubt that there's a town here near Reykjavík named Björk.
It's just a pretty normal name actually.

That's not so close to Reykjavík really :). It's probably
just a farm, doubt that she was named after it. Might be
though...

Yeah it means Birch Tree in swedish.

Trivia:: In "Dancer in the Dark" you see ALOT of Birch trees
in the backround whenever theyre outside.
That is because it is filmed in Trollhättan Sweden
eventhough the story takes place in USA

It means 'Birch' in Icelandic too, She was brought up in a
hippy commune so that explains it....
