[name_m]Hi[/name_m], so my husband is from Iceland but we both live in Australia. We have decided to give our baby an Icelandic first name, which is difficult because we need to make sure it isn’t too hard for people to pronounce and it cannot contain any diacritic marks as names are not allowed to here. For a girl the first names we are liking are Freyja, Brynja, Harpa and [name_f]Inga[/name_f]. I am unsure if people will pronounce Freyja or Brynja correctly, but the other two are pretty simple. For middle names it is out of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]. For a boy we love [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m], Bjarni and Reynir and middle name options are [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Cooper[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. Which ones do you think would be best in an English-speaking country and which middle name to go with them?
I think Freyja and [name_m]Gunner[/name_m] are both fairly easy to pronounce
Freyja [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and Harpa [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would both be lovely. [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] and Reynir [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] would work
I really like Freyja [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or Freyja [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and for a boy I like Reynir [name_m]Levi[/name_m].
Is Reynir pronounced ray-ner?
[name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and Frejya [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] are my favorites from your list
Thank you for the replies! Yes, Reynir is pronounced as [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-ner
I think Freyja, Harpa, [name_f]Inga[/name_f], [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] and Reynir won’t be difficult pronunciation-wise.
I really like:
[name_f]Inga[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
Harpa [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
Reynir [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
Great list
[name_f]Inga[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is so beautiful! For a boy [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] is the most straight-forward. [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is quite cute!
I love Freyja! I live in Australia and I think people will be able to pronounce it
So many great options!
I think Freyja is lovely! I like Freyja [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], Freyja [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], and Freyja [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].
For boys I like [name_m]Gunner[/name_m] and Reynir.
[name_m]Gunner[/name_m] [name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Gunner[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
Reynir [name_m]Levi[/name_m]
Reynir [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
