What names make you instantly think the person is Scandinavian?

A lot of popular names in Sweden/Denmark/Norway at the moment are typical of the UK - Emma, Olivia etc.

We're looking for names for our soon-to-be-born twins - both girls - which are clearly Scandinavian, and clearly demonstrates our heritage (as it would make our very strange last name make a lot more sense! 😂)

Would love some recommendations - thank you!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Astrid is my first thought

Anna - which is one of my favourite names. Marianne is another but I realise you couldn't use these for sisters. Kirstin?

A lot of colleagues from Nordic countries have names along the lines of anna/elizabeth/katherine/sophia nowadays (but they are UK based).
