Need help with name my husband picked

Boy Names
1

We don’t know whether we are having a boy or a girl but are due next month and have already agreed on a girl name. We are stuck on boy options. My husband is dead set on [name_m]Ole[/name_m] but I just can’t seem to accept it. Any ideas on how to make it work or what would be a good middle (or first) name combo to make it work?

We both like how it’s Scandinavian (he’s Finnish) but I’ve just always associated it with [name_m]Sven[/name_m] & [name_m]Ole[/name_m] jokes and fear he only likes it because [name_m]Ole[/name_m] is the name of the current manager for Manchester United, his favorite team.

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Ole[/name_m] or [name_m]Ol[/name_m]í [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] came to mind?

Or [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] as a middle since that’s related to the football manager too?

Are there any names you like to give us an idea of what we should be suggesting?

Olve or Olvir nn [name_m]Ole[/name_m] maybe?

[name_m]Ragnar[/name_m] [name_m]Ole[/name_m]
[name_m]Ole[/name_m] [name_m]Stefan[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Ole[/name_m]

If you don’t like [name_m]Ole[/name_m], then it’s not the name. It’s unfair for one parent to try to force another into choosing a name they’re not happy with. Take it off the table.

What are your criteria? Scandinavian, preferably — anything else? Any other names either of you likes?

Here are some accessible Scandinavian options, to start with:

[name_m]Ivar[/name_m]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Leif[/name_m]
[name_m]Frey[/name_m]
[name_m]Tor[/name_m]
[name_m]Lars[/name_m]
[name_m]Ragnar[/name_m]
[name_m]Einar[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Henrik[/name_m]
[name_m]Willem[/name_m]
[name_m]Jesper[/name_m]
[name_m]Nils[/name_m]
Esben
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Mattias[/name_m]
[name_m]Lukas[/name_m]
[name_m]Per[/name_m]

Or you could do very international names, like:

[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_f]Rafa[/name_f]
[name_m]Teo[/name_m]
[name_u]Mika[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_u]Joss[/name_u]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]

What about [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] with the nickname [name_m]Ole[/name_m]?

I like the idea of having [name_m]Ole[/name_m] as a nickname. Other than [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], it could be a nickname for [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], [name_m]Olin[/name_m] (also Scandinavian I believe?), [name_m]Holden[/name_m] and Oleander.

[name_m]Olle[/name_m] looks more like a name then [name_m]Ole[/name_m] maybe.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Olle[/name_m] Jarl?
