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

Thank you, great suggestions!

I love Iona but it doesn't go with our surname (also an object) so think long the lines of Iona Carr - I own a car Grin Very unfortunate

We are in Scotland, actually do like Isla but it is very similar to Ayla so looking for something that goes well but not too similar.

Erm, if by Ayla you liked Isla that's Scottish but not very unusual. Are you outside Scotland?
