Scandi/Viking Style boys names

So I love usual names am I’m trying to find an usual scandi/Viking boys name (Viking at the request of my DP).

We’ve decided on Freya for a girl. But we can’t agree on any boy names.

Can anyone help? Oh and it needs to go with a double barrel surname.

Therefore be a translation. Maybe Blaututh?

I'd suggest Knud/Knut over Cnut tbh GrinGrin for obvious reasons

PerfectPeony · 28/11/2018 12:10

I vote Bluetooth and Cnut for Viking twins Grin

MamaDane · 28/11/2018 12:09

Bluetooth is more the title of Harald Bluetooth Grin like Ivar The Boneless

PerfectPeony · 28/11/2018 12:08

Cnut... oh dear!

I know someone who’s initals are C Hunt and he has to be careful saying his name on the phone and stuff...

@RedRoseRed ‘Bluetooth’ is that a 100% genuine name?!

I'm thinking Cnut might cause the odd issue at school Grin

HauntedPencil · 28/11/2018 12:06

I love these names SO MUCH. 😂

Soren

Well Frej (pronounced Frey) would be the boy's version of Freya

Otherwise I'd recommend Aslak - has always been top of my list though I decided in the end that my baby didn't look like an Aslak

kenandbarbie · 28/11/2018 11:58

@RiverTam I loved Ragnar. Problem I have is he says no but then can never give me an alternative

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar that's actually how we pronounce the name here too! At least in Denmark Thor is pronounced Tor.

KittyLikesMagic · 28/11/2018 11:49

I've always liked Leif, not sure if that's in the same vein?

Polkasq · 28/11/2018 11:46

Viktor
Casper
Albin
Ivar
Arne
Vidar
Torstein
Olaf

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 28/11/2018 11:46

You could go for Tor if Thor is too godlike.

AlliKaneErikson · 28/11/2018 11:45

Stellan

RiverTam · 28/11/2018 11:41

Ragnar, of course!
