I know Scandinavian is a very broad term but I thought it’d be easier to just put Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish together. So if you’d happen to marry a Scandinavian person and you’d want to honour their heritage through the names you choose for your kids, how would you name them? You can have as many kids with as many mn and fn as you like but they have to be either Icelandic, Danish, Swedish or Norwegian. Here are mine:
Boy: [name_m]Niles[/name_m] [name_m]Karlsson[/name_m]
Second Boy: [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] [name_m]Thor[/name_m]
Third Boy: Hjörtur [name_m]Odin[/name_m]
Girl: [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] Lillemor
I absolutely love Scandinavian names, and would be thrilled to use them in the future. My favourites are [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], and [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m].
my great-grandparents on one side were born in sweden. I actually have my lineage traced back to like the 4th century and there are a lot of great names in my family tree.
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] Kilían
Konráð Jóhannes (Icelandic form of one of my favorite combos)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Ulrik[/name_m]
Lúcía [name_f]Karmen[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] Marselína
Iceland isn’t a part of Scandinavia Scandinavia is [name_u]Sweden[/name_u], Norway and Denmark. Iceland is one of the Nordic countries – alongside the three Scandinavian countries, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Finland.
In common usage outside of Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, Iceland is usually included in Scandinavia, as is Finland. Greenland is not Scandinavia, Faroe Islands are always a point of discussion. So strictly speaking you’re right, and I’ve had endless discussions about this throughout my life, but it’s not a big deal.
