What's your Ikea name?

As a newlywed couple on a budget, we have often shopped at Ikea for inexpensive furniture items for our home. Since it is a company that is founded in Sweden, their items often have ridiculous, crazy, unpronounceable Swedish names that have a lot of consonants in a row and weird markings around the vowels. Meaning: they be hard to say (and frankly hard to look at with all those consonants poking out everywhere in a big long row).
Like pretty little lamp:



Affectionately named the "Boja"

Or this collection of storage pieces:



Or our very own dining room table:

the good ole' "Bjursta"

So when I came across this fun Ikea name generator on the web, I immediately saw the humor behind it, and had to test it out for myself! It's pretty funny to see what you would come back as if your next life found you as a piece of Ikea furniture. Happy name generating!
