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.

@Morgan28 but Freya is also a god in Nordic mythology. Wink

@MamaDane I love Thor & Odin but my DP said they’re too big of a name to live up to.

IStandWithPosie I love Odin personally but was told it was a no go 😂😂

I also loved Gunnar but that was shot down too.

My favourite is Sygurd/ Sigurd.
From Anya Seton's "Avalon".
One of the most memorable books I have ever read. (50 years ago).

I’ve just been watching the last kingdom so I’m full of scary ones like Skorpa and Ubba Grin
