Just that really. Expecting DS1 and thinking of Casper, but want to explore other / more Scandinavian options.

What do you think of Sven? Is Thor too odd?

Or how about Gustav?

I like Kaspar too

There is a good website called Nordic names if interested.

Gustav is good, very strong and royal.

Stellan?

lillajag · 20/10/2013 14:51

Some of these names sounds like the grandparents of my friends :P no offence, but I haven't come across many Sven, Sören or Leif under 60...

My favourite Scandi names are August, Alfred, Frank and Gustav :)

Lovely suggestions here. Thank you.

Like Jonas, Linus, Magnus, Morten and Erik particularly.

Interesting to hear Sven not a good idea... Still the football manager memory?

Interested to hear thoughts on Gustav if anyone has any.

Wilhelm, thorlief or Lars
I like Scandinavian names (partly because my name is Scandinavian in origin)
