Any Danish experts here?

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I noticed that today JHT was missing the T on his tracksuit top. Any ideas why?

Bought from a fake site and just dropped off?

Club are saving on printing costs and have limited all staff to only 2 letters on their club attire, hence dropping the T

Couldn't see properly but also looked like there was no club badge so maybe they buy their own kit now and can use it at any club 😂

Never seen a board in a cafe?

It’s been like that all season 

only thing I can think of is either: 

hoffthorup is seen as a collective 

the thorup is a ‘middle name’ but placed at the end 

Jon Dahl tomasson a fellow Dane had JDT on his shirt

It's 'JH' on his profile pic on the main web site so maybe the 'T' isn't missing as it was never there in the first place.

And it was 'JH' at his previous club.

So does this mean that Thorup isn't his surname, hence the question as to whether there are any experts who know about Danish naming conventions, or does he just prefer to be called by his first two names?

Does it matter?

[shefcanary 2,943]

So it is Hoff then when we refer to him? Good.

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

Just for clarification who's 'yellow army' are we singing about this season? I was singing 'johannes hoff' yellow army, but realise it could be 'Hoff Thorup' yellow army, whereas most around me appeared to be going with "mumble mutter' yellow army.

Where is  Gunnso when you need him , he'll  know the regional and island variations in Danish name protocol.  ...and throw in some other cultural Info for good measure .

I'd say that it does, yes. Surely addressing our head coach by his proper name is just polite and common courtesy.

If Danish is anything like Icelandic, surnames/patryonymics aren't used as much as in English

Great bacon producers but I last ate it in 87. Do they still rule the gammon world?

No that's @MC_NCFC 👍

I worked with a guy who had his mothers maiden name at the end of his fathers family name.   i.e. following this example with Johannes, it would be Hoff is his fathers' side and Thorup is his mothers.  Honouring both I guess?

I haven't a clue how common that is, or if it's a regional/traditional thing, or perhaps even a marital status thing of the parents when the child is born.

But it was unusual, as you'd presume what was the middle name was actually the higher priority surname and he'd drop the final name for emails and such like.

What blew my tiny mind more was learning that they'd open presents to each other on Christmas Eve, and our German rep backed him up in that regard.  Talk about culture shocks! 🙂

Exactly what I was thinking, I should have tagged him in it but I wasn’t 100% sure he was the one.

I'm not that certain on Danish naming traditions, but there is a feature of double surnames. As far as I understand it, Danes often put their mother's maiden name/married surname as a heritable middle name rather than double-barrrelling it onto their patronymic surname.

Obvious ones would be the fact that Denmark had three consecutive prime ministers with the surname Rasmussen. So my guess with JHT is that Thorup is the patronymic last name, but he's happier being referred to with his mother's surname.

But, I repeat, that's a guess.
