Hi Berries!
The big baby name news this week comes to us from IKEA Norway. They created an 800+ name bank for expectant parents with names taken from their products.
You can find all the names here (the site is in Norwegian, naturally).
We posted about it on Instagram and I’m going to talk about it in this weekend’s newsletter.
But just for fun, what would you name babies using names from the IKEA name bank?
I think I’d go with Trudy Greta, Linus Benno, and Pippi Maud.
[name_f]Talia[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Sören[/name_m]
[name_m]Alrik[/name_m] [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_u]Dagny[/name_u]
Is this not just the coolest thing ever?! So many wonderful names 
[name_f]My[/name_f] picks would be… [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] & [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Pamela[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] 
This is so much fun!
Realistically, I would pick something usable in my homeland, like [name_f]Beata[/name_f], [name_m]Fabian[/name_m], [name_m]Filip[/name_m], [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f], [name_f]Talia[/name_f], [name_u]Adrian[/name_u].
For the purposes of making imaginary combos for another life, I’d say
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
[name_f]Maud[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], and [name_u]Harry[/name_u]
[name_f]Ebba[/name_f] [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Tor[/name_m]
So cool!!!
I’m in love with [name_f]Pippi[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Isidora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Bo[/name_u] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Kasper[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ellinor[/name_f]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
I’ll pick out a few for each gender. I love too many to make a cohesive, non-repetitive sibling set, so these are individual.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] (I just loved this and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] both so much I couldn’t decide-if this was a real girl, she would be a Sylvie)
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Florin[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_m]Russel[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Leif[/name_m]
I can’t put into words how much I love all of these combos!
Oooh loved this!
