Do you mean 'Dannebrog' (Dannebrogordenen)?

Dannebro reads like a title a fraternity would give you

>"Anton Michelsen was made a part of Royal Copenhagen A/S who is now the supplier."

If anyone's seen Alfred Hitchcock's Topaz (1969), that's where they filmed the opening scene where the KGB pursues the Soviet defector through central Copenhagen. The porcelain factory in the film is (was?) the real-life company's ceramics factory.

The 'g' is not sounded out loud anyway in Dannebrog, so your interpretation still lives, I can happily report.

Oh jeez, so that bunch of drunk Danish students I've seen do all the bars in the street was in fact a wild pack of Dannebros...

Duly noted.
