I know right? Difficult one! There’s something distinct and magical about Scandi girl’s names - for me they evoke the ancient way of conceptualising the feminine - fierce and formidable.

[name_f]Beautiful[/name_f], isn’t it. Feminine but strong with a meaning to match. It’s the fem version of the more common masculine [name_m]Einar[/name_m].

[name_f]Elva[/name_f] is high on my list!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Elva[/name_f]! We considered Elfi for our last daughter’s name, but I was worried it was too nicknamey/cute and that people might make fun of the ‘elf’ connection. [name_f]Elva[/name_f] has a similar feeling, but doesn’t have either of those problems.

(We ended up naming our daughter [name_f]Clara[/name_f] Wolf.)
