Unusual Scottish or Nordic/Scandi girls names

Hi

Desperately looking for name suggestions for dd2. We used the only girls name we loved for dd1 who is called Ayla.

We like unusual and ideally Scottish or Nordic but doesn't have to be. Not really into the greek style names which usually crop up on unusual name websites.

Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks

As a Highlander Ayala and Skye wouldn’t go so well as siblings think ‘isle a skye’ Grin

My absolute fave Scottish girls name is Sorcha, it’s just so beautiful.

Vaila, it's an island in Shetland so meets the Scottish/ Scandinavian criteria.

Elsa.

Was my Granny's name (she was half German, half English but brought up in Denmark 'cos of WW1).

Would've been a definite front runner if ds had been a dd Wink
