About Linda

Linda Andersson is one of the founders of Very Many Names. She lives in Washington DC where she practices law for a living. When she’s not arguing in court, writing about names is one of her favorite ways to quench her love for writing.

Linda has three small children, Anna (5), Eric (2) and Walter (1). Family time means a lot to her, especially Friday pizza, popcorn, and movie night. Turns out children movies are a great inspiration when it comes to writing about names!

Jonny’s interest in names started with the birth of his children, when the quest for the perfect name sparked interest in the general subject of names. Soon his interest spread to names in stories, names of cities, names for popular animals, the history of names and many other areas related to names.
