hi girls! im new here and i want to ask your help with finding the perfect name for my baby bump.
my husband is indian/swedish, im Norwegian, we live in Norway but we want a name that work for our american, indian, swedish & norwegian friends & family, ONE name they can all pronounce and use comfortably. well yeah… im lost… need help finding a name. my husband says “i dont make girls hun, so we just need boys names…” me on the other hand dont want to risk it so im looking for both. ideas please! 
Most international names would fulfil your criteria, I believe. It would be nice if you could say which type of names you like (traditional, classic, modern, etc).
Suggestions:
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lina[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofie[/name_f]/[name_f]Sofia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Veda[/name_f]
The only one I can think of that kind of fits in all those cultures is [name_f]Sonia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sonja[/name_f]/[name_f]Sonya[/name_f].
Maybe something shot and sweet like [name_f]Ida[/name_f] or [name_f]Liv[/name_f]?
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]/[name_f]Maia[/name_f]/[name_f]Maja[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f]/[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Mina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]/[name_f]Lyla[/name_f]/[name_f]Leila[/name_f]/[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Elin[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Sara[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] or [name_m]Albin[/name_m]
<3
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] is a very multicultural name and might work for you.
[name_f]Anika[/name_f]/[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
I like the suggestions of [name_f]Sonia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sonja[/name_f] and [name_f]Anika[/name_f].
[name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Miri[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u]
[name_u]Vida[/name_u]
[name_f]Simi[/name_f]
[name_f]Dari[/name_f]
Maybe [name_f]Livia[/name_f]/[name_f]Liv[/name_f] could work! It’s a classic name, with [name_m]Roman[/name_m] roots, but its similarity to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] makes it recognizable. And [name_f]Liv[/name_f] is very scandinavian!
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gita[/name_f]
What about [name_u]Lisa[/name_u]? It’s very easy to pronounce and spell 
[name_f]Elin[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Uma[/name_f]
Suraiya
Well there is; [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], they are all pretty easy in English, and many are internationally recognized.
thanks so much for the suggestions! we/i dont like typical norwegian names like [name_f]Liv[/name_f],olga,ida, heidi, ingrid++. i love names from all times and styles, flower names is a fave but hard to finde the perfect one. my problem is that i tend to go for american names that is impossible to pronounce in Norwegian, the swedish are better with american style names. my fave so far is [name_m]Iben[/name_m] but my husband swedish mom hates it. thankfully we stil have months and months to finde the perfect name. love [name_f]Uma[/name_f] too but my brother just named he´s lill girl that last year… ill show the names you all suggested to my husband and hope we can finde one all of us like:)
I think you need to have to tone down one part of the name - either have a very [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name (first or middle) and a toned down Scandi first or middle name, or vice versa. Or have an adaptable, toned down name for both names, one of either origin. If that makes sense. Going to town with a very Scandinavian and a very [name_f]Indian[/name_f] name together will probably just seem odd and clash.
Suggestions:
I’ve included both very ‘obviously [name_f]Indian[/name_f]/Swedish/etc’ and very adaptable / neutral / toned-down names. The latter I’ve put in italics. I think these would work best - either with another neutral name, or a more flamboyant, obviously ‘ethnic/cultural’ name.

Sorry for the huge lists! I hope I helped somewhat. I highlighted the most obvious choices, but actually, you know what, if you end up having a daughter called, for example, taking two names from my list, [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] Kalyani, yeah, it clashes a bit, but at least it has character. Still…yeah, I highlighted the best safe options!
thank u so much! i will show this to my husband and he´s sister how is helping me pick a name. as i really am having a hard time XD my family wants me to call our child [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] (boy) or Gry for a girl. not at all the type of names i was going for… i really love indian girls names but they do not look god with our last name, at least not alone, so im hoping for the perfect indian name to match the perfect scandinavian name 
again thanks so mush!
