Something like Freya but not Freya...

I like the Nordic thing, reasonably short and unfussy. But our surname begins with F so I have some reservations about that... Other criteria: not beginning with a vowel, not beginning with 'S'...

We liked Freya/Freja though didn't choose it in the end. Other similar names on our lists were:
Ella
Lotta
Maja

Thinking of similar girls names of DDs' friends here (we live in Sweden):
Tilda/Matilda
Stella/Bella
Moa
Meja
Ida
Nova
Novalie
Lova
Lovisa
Märta
Hanna
Linnea
Emma
Klara
Svea

Signe is used here but personally I'd avoid in the UK because people will probably mispronounce.

Was going to say Anika, but obviously A is a vowel...

Pippi or Petra maybe?

Malin and Seren. (Though Seren is Welsh I think it still fits the same criteria)

Some good ones, thanks. My other two are vowels, that is why I would like to avoid a third one - think it'll be too mulchy a mouthful!! Otherwise I I do love Astrid.
