I’m kind of, well, obsessed with names beginning with “V” and recently came across the name Verdandi (also spelled [name]Ver[/name]ðandi or Verthandi), which I’m developing quite a crush on. Verdandi was one of the three Norns (the others were Urd and Skuld) of Norse mythology, similar to the Greek Fates. I believe it is pronounced Vair-dahn-dee, but any Scandinavian Berries feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
If we did use it, it would probably be as a middle for [name]Elizabeth[/name]. What do you think of the combo [name]Elizabeth[/name] Verdandi or just the name Verdandi in general? Are there any horribly tragic myths associated with her, and do you think you would need Scandinavian heritage to pull it off? (We don’t have any, as far as I know.) Thanks!
Verdandi is one of my most favorite names and our fallback option if [name]Xanthe[/name] doesn’t suit a future daughter. I would be thrilled to meet someone with it, even as a middle name.
I think [name]Elizabeth[/name] Verdandi is gorgeous!
I think it works really well as a middle name, especially next to something as grounded and classic as [name]Elizabeth[/name]! I think it’s fine without Scandinavian heritage as long as you really read up on the history. I don’t know anything beyond what I’ve just read here. Good luck!
I love Verdandi, it’s so beautiful and actually on my list for [name]Little[/name] [name]Baba[/name]'s middle (and Urd too). It’s pronounced verr-dan-dee (or something like that, the e is short, and the r is quite hard).
I think of Oh My [name]Goddess[/name]! where the main character is named Verdandi. She’s a positive character so I rather like this name with [name]Elizabeth[/name].
