If you’re a Danish woman named Camilla, you might want to keep an eye out for Baby Sam discounts in the near future.

That’s because, on average, Danish women are 29 years old when they have their first child, and as Camilla was the most popular name in 1989, the name is statistically the most likely to become pregnant next year – as was the case this year.

Louise comes in second, followed by Christina, Maria and Mette, while Katrine, Anne, Line, Pernille and Sara round up the top 10.

Søren’s soft testicles
There’s no reason why Danish men should miss out on a fun statistical story either – particularly if their name is Søren.

According to a story from earlier this year, Danish men named Søren have the smoothest testicles – a statistic that fortunately was not obtained in a manner that was overly ‘hands on’.

Bicycle equipment vendor Cykelpartner.dk assessed the sales of its gimmick product ‘Klunke voks’ (ball wax), which promises to be “so good for your balls”.

The most frequent name associated with ordering the wax was Søren, followed by Lars, Henrik, Anders and Jesper. Michael, Kim, Niels, Torben and Thomas completed the top 10.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
