Hey all, this is technically my second post on this specific topic, though the last one was some months ago.
Not currently expecting.
[name_f]My[/name_f] partner expressed an interest in having a Norse or Scandi name in the middle spot for future baby #2, and while I have loads of middle name combos that I really like for [name_f]Enid[/name_f], none of them have that etymological link. I get final say on any name for our next child, but I really want to try and take this into account and at least try to find something we’d both like that meets that criteria, at least to include on the short list.
The main issue? When it comes to Scandi names we seem to have very different tastes.
I had so many great suggestions last time like [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], [name_f]Viveca[/name_f], [name_f]Thora[/name_f], and Sigvalda which I pitched to him but he didn’t really seem keen on any of them.
The only specific name he’s given me as an example of a scandi name he likes is [name_f]Eir[/name_f] (can be pronounced like air or ire depending,) either way I’m not a fan of [name_f]Enid[/name_f] [name_f]Eir[/name_f] [name_m]Harris[/name_m] so we won’t be using it unless we do two middle names- I’m open to suggestions there! The only other Scandi name I know he likes for sure is [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], which is his aunt’s wife’s name, and the reason I suggested [name_f]Enid[/name_f] in the first place because he didn’t feel we could use [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f].
So Scandi names to go with [name_f]Enid[/name_f] or names to go in a double middle combo with [name_f]Enid[/name_f] _____ [name_f]Eir[/name_f] or [name_f]Enid[/name_f] [name_f]Eir[/name_f] _____?
Tldr: names that have been ruled out:
[name_f]Eir[/name_f] (without a second middle anyway)
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] / [name_f]Freyja[/name_f] / [name_f]Freja[/name_f]
[name_f]Hildegard[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
Ishildur
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Runa[/name_f]
Sigvalda (but Sigruna might be on the table?)
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]
[name_f]Viveca[/name_f]
Thank you for your suggestions. [name_u]Ola[/name_u] is darling, and I really like [name_f]Tove[/name_f] but we have a close friend with a daughter [name_f]Tova[/name_f].
