Hey all, this is technically my second post on this specific topic, though the last one was some months ago.
Not currently expecting.
My 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 Enid, 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 Sunniva, Viveca, Thora, 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 Eir (can be pronounced like air or ire depending,) either way I’m not a fan of Enid Eir Harris 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 Ingrid, which is his aunt’s wife’s name, and the reason I suggested Enid in the first place because he didn’t feel we could use Ingrid.
So Scandi names to go with Enid or names to go in a double middle combo with Enid _____ Eir or Enid Eir _____?
Tldr: names that have been ruled out:
Eir (without a second middle anyway)
Freya / Freyja / Freja
Hildegard
Ingrid
Ishildur
Lovisa
Runa
Sigvalda (but Sigruna might be on the table?)
Sunniva
Viveca
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].
