I'm Swedish hence the Scandinavian names (apart from Jarvis) but we currently live in the UK. Am concerned that the names all sound lovely to me as I'm Swedish but I'm aware for example of Saga holidays for the over-50's (saga means 'story' in Swedish).

I would be grateful for your comments, good or bad!

Saga means story in English as well but I still wouldn't a child that. I like greta.

Vincent and Jarvis are gorgeous boys names. Not sure about the girls ones, but if you want to preserve your DC's Swedish heritage then you should go for a name which sounds beautiful in Swedish, no matter what everyone else thinks!

Svea and Viggo are nice!

Greta and Lars

I know a Swedish woman called Tove.

Saga - over-50 holidays
Svea - like
Greta - a bit harsh

Lars - a bit "stereotypically Scandinavian"
Victor - fine
Vincent - fine
Jarvis - OK
August - like
Robin - too unisex
Viggo - sounds a bit strange to UK ears

Girls:
Saga No I wouldnt do in the UK to many associations
Svea Pretty and people will get used to it.
Greta Love but then it is my aunts name (Danish here living in the UK)

Boys:
Lars I love it always had and never met a mean Lars
Victor Lovely
Vincent Lovely
Jarvis No i dont like it much I just think Jarvis cocker
August Not keen but unsure why
Robin I dont like unisex names (having one myself it is a pain)
Viggo Lovely

Like Svea Lars Vincent
