I prefer [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] to [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] and I like [name_f]Signy[/name_f] as well. My favorite Scandinavian name is the name of my grandma and my daughter: [name_f]Karin[/name_f].

[name_f]Annika[/name_f] is a name already on my list, in my old job there was a old lady who rocked the name [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is a bit too common in my area but it is still a pretty name. I remember a girl in my secondary school was named [name_f]Kaja[/name_f], I think it was Dutch?

I’ve heard [name_f]Kaja[/name_f] used in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u] and Denmark, and [name_f]Kaija[/name_f] in Finland (pretty much the same pronunciation). It’s quite pretty. :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] (<3) and Freya, but I feel a need to correct that in Denmark (I’m not sure where else in Scandinavia) we spell it with a j. I’m also madly in love with the names Signe and Ravnhild (Ragnhild)

[name_m]How[/name_m] is Ravnhild pronounced, [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]?

[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Karine[/name_f]

(I’ve tried to find Scandanavian names and found it to be difficult!) I like [name_m]Ragnar[/name_m] and [name_m]Odin[/name_m] for boys

Oh they are beautiful!

My daughter’s name is [name_f]Annika[/name_f]! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it!

I also like [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f], but DH doesn’t. :confused:

Lots of great names on there, but the only one I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] is [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. Beautiful.

[name_f]Annika[/name_f] is my number one choice for any future/first daughter I have

Edited for privacy.

The ones I voted for are the common ones [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f].
The others are a bit harsh sounding and I can’t picture them on a [name_u]North[/name_u] American girl.
Other Scandinavian names that I like the sound of are:
[name_f]Brigitta[/name_f]
[name_f]Britta[/name_f] (too bad about the water filter)
[name_f]Hilde[/name_f] (It’s pronounced [name_f]Hildy[/name_f])
[name_f]Petrina[/name_f] (I knew a lovely girl with this name)
[name_f]Suren[/name_f] <3 I love Seren too, but that’s Welsh
Liv
Marit
Marja
Kelda or Kelta (I know a girl named Kelta, but it’s a nn, not sure if it’s Scandinavian, but it is similar to Kelda)

I pick [name_f]Annika[/name_f] (beautiful!), but I think [name_u]Inge[/name_u] is my favorite from this category : )

Oh, Svea, I love [name_f]Vendela[/name_f]! I’d almost forgotten about it, will have to put it on a list now that you’ve reminded me. :slight_smile:
