Bergen is really Bjoergvin

I discovered recently that the most serene Hanseatic city should really be called Bjoergvin. The trolls mangle Norsk and say it Bergen. Because they prefer Stadin Slangi of Helsingfors.

But many young Bergeners call it "Bjoerkvin", imagining it is named after the great Icelandic/Eskimo, one of the three looniest women inna world, with Yoko Ono & Susan Sarandon.
