I am a large part Norwegian and Welsh in my ancestry, and I was wondering if anyone had some good Norwegian and/or Welsh boy names! I like to use middle names that honor family, but I just don’t have that many men in my life that I want to honor, haha. Since I’m mostly Norwegian on my dad’s side and the Welsh comes from my mom’s side, I think that is a great way of honoring family history 
So, what are your favorite Norwegian and/or Welsh boy names?

I am very familiar with Norwegian names, but not Welsh. My very favorite Norwegian boy’s name is Amund. I also like [name]Iver[/name] and [name]Andris[/name]. .
We have a ds named [name]Evan[/name] and are having our 2nd ds in [name]March[/name] and we are thinking of naming him [name]Erik[/name] one Welsh and one Norse – when I saw your post I just had to read it. actually, I [name]LOVE[/name] the Welsh names more, but my dh has always wanted to name a son [name]Erik[/name] (don’t really know why - he just likes it:-) haha… so we will have one of each!! I would probably choose another Welsh name if left entirely up to me, but [name]Erik[/name] is growing on me!!
good luck!!
Thanks for the suggestions! I really like [name]Anders[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] (among others)!

[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Bryn[/name] (I’m gutted this is so popular for girls in [name]America[/name]!)

[name]Ottilie[/name]! [name]How[/name] do you come up with so many names? haha. I love [name]Bendik[/name], [name]Erling[/name], [name]Espen[/name], Frode, [name]Jesper[/name], [name]Sigurd[/name], and [name]Tobias[/name]. Thank you for all the help!
sweetpeace: a great uncle of mine is actually named [name]Nils[/name]
[name]Ashley[/name]: [name]Even[/name] [name]Dylan[/name] is sometimes used on girls… I don’t know if I will ever understand some of the names that effectively “go to the girls” ([name]Dylan[/name] hasn’t made it’s way over yet, I don’t think!)
Well, I’m half norwegian! [name]Glad[/name] you liked some of them.
