Do not fill this in! ===Other names=== Oslo has various nicknames and names in other languages. The city is sometimes known as "The Tiger City" ({{lang-no|Tigerstaden}}), probably inspired by an 1870 poem by [[Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson]] which referenced then-Christiania in central Oslo. The nickname is mostly used by Norwegians from out of town, and rarely by people from the Oslo region.<ref>"Fra Språkrøret: Hvorfor kaller vi Oslo for Tigerstaden?," ''St. Hallvard'', 3/1991, p. 61</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
