Making my way through alot of Scandinavian names at the moment.
Another that’s peaked my interest is [name_u]Alva[/name_u]
I imagine a little blonde girl in the woods with a little knitted cap on, little dress and boots ,brown coat holding a basket picking mushrooms and herbs 
What whimsical/boho/enchanted names would you pair with this?
As a Norwegian, I absolutely adore [name_u]Alva[/name_u] because “alv” is Norwegian for “elf”, which makes the name so enchanting and fairy- like in my opinion. I love your description of it. I feel like [name_u]Alva[/name_u] is soft and powerful at the same time.
Do you mean you want suggestions for middle names or just names that go along with it? 
Alva is lovely
Alva [name_f]Winsome[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]

[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
How nice to get some input from the place where the name is from. Me and my husband have got such great interest in everything norse at the moment.
I would love some middle name suggestions please
My little girls middle names are [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] but I am very much open to the quirky and the unusual.
With my surname being Hare she would be [name_u]Alva[/name_u] Hare do you think that people will say, I’ll have a Hare? I love the name [name_u]Alva[/name_u] so much I’m hoping I’d get away with it 
Oh my gosh, [name_u]Alva[/name_u] Hare is adorable name of the day in my book!! I’ll be back with some more middle name suggestions, but for now have [name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u] 
Oh, cool! I’m way into Norse mythology too!
I may be way off here, since it seems like you prefer short and sweet middle names, but I feel like a long middle name pairs better with [name_u]Alva[/name_u]. What about:
Alva [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Severine[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] Othilie/ [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Oline[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Mathea[/name_f]/ [name_f]Mattea[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Christiane[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
Or perhaps a one- syllable name like:
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
Ps. [name_u]Alva[/name_u] Hare is totally a name for a heroine in a fantasy novel! Magical!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Alva[/name_u]!
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Whimsy[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]

[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Leonor[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Lucero[/name_f]

[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Noor[/name_f]
Alva is very cute. It feels like one of the granny chic names that are getting popular. Similar options:
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_f]Alba[/name_f]
[name_u]Vida[/name_u]
Simple. [name_u]Strong[/name_u]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.

Aww that’s so sweet of you to say, that makes me feel better about my surname with it.
My daughterhas 2 middle names [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and my son has 2 [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Wolf[/name_u]. It seems like I have gone for short and sweet middles but I’m definitely open to longer names. I tend to have the second middle as a one syllable.
I have to say [name_f]Severine[/name_f] is such a guilty pleasure name because it reminds me of [name_m]Severus[/name_m] Snape lol
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] (husband doesnt, boo!)
Adore the suggestion of [name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. Think I’d add like a [name_u]Wren[/name_u] or a [name_u]Lark[/name_u] in there.
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] 
Thankyou ,love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] , couldnt use [name_u]June[/name_u] as a horrible family member has it 
I love [name_u]Vida[/name_u], was looking it up today , has norse links to [name_u]Willow[/name_u] which I love.
You suggestions are lovely,
Some of my faves
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u] (on my list)
[name_f]Myrtle[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_u]Foxglove[/name_u]
[name_f]Elke[/name_f] is super sweet!
[name_f]Muriel[/name_f]
Alva [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] 
Oh, I’m sorry! I misunderstood! I thought it was two different girls with a middle name each
I absolutely detest [name_m]Severus[/name_m] Snape, but I had a wonderful student named [name_f]Severine[/name_f], which is four syllables in Norwegian, and she carried it so well I’ve never been able to let it go.
Alva [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] is genuinely amazing! The Danish/ Norwegian for [name_u]Lark[/name_u]; Lærke/ Lerke, is on my short list for a future baby.
And also; [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Wolf[/name_u]! That is one of the most incredible combos I’ve ever heard.
If you like [name_f]Elke[/name_f], you might also like [name_f]Silke[/name_f] ([name_m]Sil[/name_m]- keh/ kuh”. One of my favourite Danish names.
Awww thankyou, a combination of our favourite artist [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] , we all love his songs , his like our families happy place, my little girl is 4 and loves his songs and [name_u]Wolf[/name_u] is one my husbands favourite animals
You didnt misunderstand I wrote it strange lol
How can you hate [name_m]Severus[/name_m] lol poor old Snape.
Oh so its said like Sev-uh-Reen-[name_m]Ah[/name_m]? That’s pretty!
Silke is gorgeous
I love it! Very boho, nature-y, and uncommon but not too far out. Reminds me of a mash of [name_f]Ava[/name_f]/Evie/Isla
That’s so cute! I’m a fan of [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] too, so I totally get the appeal. [name_f]My[/name_f] sister really wants to use [name_u]Wolf[/name_u] for a son, but it just feels a bit weird when we’re not [name_f]English[/name_f] speakers, nor living in an [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking country.
Yeah! It’s Sev- eh- ree-neh- basically the way you spelt it. ([name_f]My[/name_f] problems with Snape are too many, and too deep to get into on this innocent name post 
His name is cool, though. I really like the sound of Sev-).
I am a huge [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] fan. Like, the horrible kind of fan that gets a little insulted when someone says they’re a fan. I’m like “No, no, you’re not a fan. I’m a fan!” If I had a baby girl today, I’d name her [name_f]Silke[/name_f] [name_f]Hermine[/name_f] (Hær- mee-neh)- the name [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] in Norwegian. I’d love to use the original, but it just does not work here…
I’m definitely a fan but I’m just terrible at recall so someone will ask me a question and I’m not good at instant answers lol. Bloody love [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m], I was so excited to see the 3rd film I actually threw my money at the cinema worker I was shaking so much that music gets me everytime.
One of my absolute favourite names is [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] , my issues with it are that I think the popularity is rising on it which always puts me off a name and there is a women off a reality show here that isnt very desirable and I dont like the shortened Marn.
So iv been trying to convince my husband of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] nn [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] lol he keeps telling me it’s to obviously [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]…I’m like …well yeah!
I love [name_f]Luna[/name_f] but again very popular here
I love [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] but not [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] hubby doesnt
Really been wracking my brain for strange obscure hp names like the herbs, place names or characters not mentioned like shop owners or authors within in the films/books. Like [name_m]Florean[/name_m] the ice cream maker
