Hi!
We're due a new baby boy very soon, but at a loss for names.
Our first son's name is Lars.
Any suggestions appreciated! Thankyou!

Don't do names that are vastly differently pronounced in Scandinavia to the UK so like Leif, Anders, Knud, Frederick, Christian,Bjørn The names are so different in how you say them.

How about
Carl
Asger
Lasse (close to Lars I know)
Peter/Peder

Side step from the post.....how are those names pronounced vastly different in Scandinavian?
I'm genuinely interested in their correct pronunciation

Jocelyn 😅

Is that still used as a man's name??

Of the four or five others I've met there was one very posh and elderly Sir Jocelyn, but I'm pretty sure it's seen as a name for females now! I'm definitely female...

I'm not even going there with Patrice or Leslie (yes I know, this could be a man's name but just...no) let alone Gary and Barry 😆

OP I really like Hendrik or Soren. Sven is nice too.

Dammit I'm going to have to name change again now I've mentioned my real name!

Show quote history

I work with a Jocelyn! He’s not that old, late 40s/early 50s I think.

I admit, I did write that list with my tongue firmly in my cheek. One name isn’t a lot to go on, who knows what kind of names the OP would like? I don’t know that many families who have a ‘theme’ with their offspring, usually it’s just a name they like!

Barry is a pretty common name in Ireland, again no idea of where the OP lives and what names they like based on one name!

I like Soren and Odin

Without opening the thread, my thought was Lars and Hendrik

Love this.

AlexanderArnold · 20/08/2024 11:44

Felix was my first thought. Love some of the other suggestions.

twentysevendresses · 20/08/2024 11:39

Thorsten (or Torsten but I prefer it with a Th as it means Thor's Stone).

Love this name 🥰
