Hello,
I’ve become really interested in norse/viking names but I’m having trouble finding names, it’s just the same like five girl names I find. While I find [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Freja[/name_f] very nice names I would like some more to choose from and also find out if there are actually more beautiful norse names that I didn’t know about.
Thanks beforehand,
Guldiva

Thank you,
these helped me a lot and got my mind working!
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Freja[/name_f]/[name_f]Freya[/name_f] are all good names, but probably the most popular out of what I would consider the usable norse names. They are especially popular in Norway (where I live) and [name_u]Sweden[/name_u].
Some of my favorite Norse names are:
Alvdis
Alvilde
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u]
Eidis
[name_f]Eir[/name_f]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Elida[/name_f]
Fryd
Frigg
[name_f]Hedda[/name_f]
Ildri
Iril
[name_f]Ingeborg[/name_f]
[name_f]Olea[/name_f]
Runa
[name_f]Sigrid[/name_f]
[name_m]Sol[/name_m]
Vivil
Ylvali
And some boys names just because:
[name_m]Alvar[/name_m]
Arn
[name_m]Erling[/name_m]
Hauk
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]
[name_m]Sigurd[/name_m]
Trym

Thank you,
these names are great, I’ve checked some of them out already but several are new to me. I’m looking at boy names too so it’s good to have some examples. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Guldiva
I only know a couple off the top of my head, but I absolutely love them so I thought I’d share. First off, [name_f]Signe[/name_f] (sig-nee). I think it’s so beautiful. The other one is [name_f]Liv[/name_f], as a full name, which I also think it so fun and spunky.
I like the Names as [name_f]Signy[/name_f], Siv, Skadi, [name_f]Hulda[/name_f], [name_f]Nanna[/name_f], Atla, [name_f]Eir[/name_f], Eisa, Embla, [name_f]Freya[/name_f]
