I know you Berries love a good challenge, so how about a little help with my name hunt?
I’m searching for baby names with a Viking feel. Strong, hard sounds and an outgoing vibe for boys and a sense of wisdom and strength for girls.
On my list so far are; (in favorite order)
Girls
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
Freyja
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Asta[/name_f]
[name_f]Tova[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u]
Boys
[name_m]Viggo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivar[/name_m]
[name_u]Jagger[/name_u]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]
So far, my searches have turned up nothing. Hoping one of you can present a name I’ll fall in love with.
I love the vibe of your names. Nordic baby names are so beautiful.
Out of your list I think that Freyja (I prefer [name_f]Freya[/name_f] or [name_f]Freja[/name_f], not both), [name_f]Asta[/name_f], and [name_f]Tova[/name_f] are the most beautiful, and for boys [name_m]Ivar[/name_m] is perfection. Also second the suggestions of [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_m]Erik[/name_m] and maybe [name_f]Thora[/name_f].
Suggesting:
Boys
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Oskar[/name_m]
[name_m]Tor[/name_m] / [name_m]Tyr[/name_m]
[name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Haldor[/name_m]

These are one of those times I wish I could tag people. Jackal and the scandiberries would be very helpful here. I don’t know how legit this site is, but I love it: Nordic Names
Wow thank you everyone! Some really delightful names in these lists. And @ottertails That is an awesome link. I’ve got a lot of sorting through them to do now.
