Danish/Scandi baby names!

Looking for inspiration! DH is Danish.
We've already a DS with a fairly common Danish/Swedish name.
Would love some suggestions, both boys and girls.
Left-field suggestions which may not have made it into the most popular rankings lists.
Might go for a common one as the primary name, and a more radical choice for middle name :-)

Tak! ❤️

I worked with a Scandinavian lady called Malin which I always thought was pretty. Also I remember a singer called Lene Malin from Scandi somewhere. Lots of pretty names to choose from.

Mia, Freya, Emma?

Worried these might not be as obviously scandi as I'd like?

I am not Danish, but Scandinavian.
I really like the Danish girls name Lykke which means happiness.
My DS is called August.

I read that Kara Tointon has/had a Scandinavian partner and their sons were called Frey & Helly.

I quite like both although think I'd go for Helly as a girls name.
