So a client I used to work with had named her daughter Solveigh said like solvay. Its norweigen. Its not even a name on here so I think its very very rare. I think its pretty. Im curious if others think its too wierd or if you think any odd things about it that might be a good reason not to use it.
It is listed on Nameberry, without the H. Maybe that’s an effort to make the silent G more logical to English speakers. And, by the way, YES! to -eigh being said as -ay rather than -ee. Think about the word sleigh, and the name [name]Leigh[/name] makes no sense.
There is an English version of this name “Sovay”, which is featured in a song by [name]Andrew[/name] [name]Bird[/name], as well as an English folk song.
