Sometimes she’s written as Åsa Nordin-Gessle and sometimes as Åsa Gessle!
That’s all I know! Hope it help you!

i think she‘s got a double name now:
“nordin-gessle”.

is marie “fredriksson-bolyos”? or just fredriksson?

Mari said on January 18, 2002 03:54:

As far as I know, names are Nordin-Gessle and Fredriksson.

tevensso (moderator) said on January 18, 2002 04:36:

It’s Åsa Nordin Gessle and Marie Boloys, Marie is just Fredriksson as an artist nowadays. And couples married after 1986 in Sweden do not hyphenate their last names, if they choose to use both.

Really? Did Marie change her last name while Asa kept it?

rox74ever said on January 18, 2002 19:13:

i would want to change my last name if I married somebody like PER! =)

Cinnamon said on January 19, 2002 10:14:

For Per, but for no one else!!!

dan-rox said on January 20, 2002 23:28:

Hej Dan, what happend to you??? I didn´t heard from you for a long time...
Åsa´s last name is Nordin-Gessle. But I don´t know how is it with Marie. As actor she kept name Fredriksson but... I read a bulletin about houses in Djursholm and in the magazine it was wrote Gun-Marie Bolyos!!! So I think we should ask Marie...

Cinnamon said on January 21, 2002 07:05:

Hej, why we don´t ask Per at www.roxette.se??? He should know it!!!

CRIZ said on January 21, 2002 12:02:

It’s Marie Bolyos....believe me!

dan-rox said on January 23, 2002 23:25:

sorry Andrea, i’m in exams, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee excuse me for not have written before, can you excuse me ?

lonely_girl said on January 29, 2002 06:17:

Well, Per called his wife in the booklet to the “Halmstads Pärlor” CD an “underestimated feminist”. So I guess she wouldn’t have chaged her name...

And about Marie: Why is she still signing with “Fredriksson” if she had changed her name????

little-miss-sorrow said on January 29, 2002 06:51:

I guess everybody’d look reeeally surprised if she’d sign with Bolyos suddenly... ;o) It’s probably just that it’s always been “Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson”, so she just kept it for roxette.

CRIZ said on January 29, 2002 09:47:

Marie said that she’s signing with “Fredriksson” because everybody is used to it! (in Roxette-area)
Private she is signing with Bolyos of course

Hi together!
I think, that Per is very habby with Åsa and Gabriel. Åsa must know, witch Name what she want.

dan-rox said on February 3, 2002 23:47:

won’t be more babies ? just Gabriel, Josefin and Oscar ?

dan-rox said on February 7, 2002 23:22:

do you want more babies or not ?

harriej said on December 29, 2005 11:17:

tevensso already gave the answer, so why keep on asking?

roxgirl_germany said on December 29, 2005 11:35:

In the “The change” documentary, one of the guys in the studio actually asks Marie about her surname. Fredriksson continues to be her artist’s name, in private it’s Bolyos.

Ha, I knew about Gessle Nordin but not about Maries name..

You learn something new every day..

daniel_alv said on December 29, 2005 15:49:

accually Åsas lastname is Gessle, Nordin is just a middlename...

Majdy said on December 29, 2005 21:31:

I definately will change my name to Gessle if i were married to Per :D :D

tevensso (moderator) said on December 29, 2005 22:30:

Daniel: That’s just a legal technicality.

Eloy said on December 30, 2005 02:09:

åsa nordin-gessle, I think. I don´t remember where I read the name but I´m sure that´s is the right name!

tevensso (moderator) said on December 30, 2005 10:30:

Åsa Nordin Gessle, once again.

If people want to fight it out, leave them to it.

Sparvogamarie said on January 3, 2006 07:34:

I saw a Swedish magazine that had snooped around and found the names of the owners of houses in Sweden. Marie’s house is owned by Marie Bolyos. They even had the title deed, and it was signed by Marie Bolyos in Marie’s exact signature but with the different last name. As someone mentioned, in the Change documentary she says that Bolyos is her private name and Fredriksson is an artist name. She will NOT ever sign an autograph as Marie Bolyos, my friend asked Marie to sign a wedding photo with her married name and she refused to do it.

@lonely_girl: Really? Did he write “underestimated feminist”? Asa? Feminist? lol...That’s hard to picture...what else does she do except keeping her maiden name to “prove” she’s a feminist? (i’m half joking but still wondering how exactly “feministic” gestures work in a gessle world?...haha...) As far as I know, per is not really found on feminist ideas; and as far as I can notice, Asa’s general behaviour and role don’t have much in commun with feminism. But well, who am I to judge? hehe

Galning said on January 9, 2006 10:11:

Well, I guess it´s better for Asa to be called Nordin-Gessle. That gives her the chance of call herself sometimes only Nordin if she doesn´t want everyone to know that she is the wife of Per GESSLE. Maybe because of that...
