Hit me with your favourite Scandinavian boys name(s)

[Wildwaterfalls]

Just that really. Expecting DS1 and thinking of Casper, but want to explore other / more Scandinavian options.

What do you think of Sven? Is Thor too odd?

Or how about Gustav?

Has nobody said Stig?

Love Stellan or Carsten.

Isnt carsten German? Means Christian anyway so ?Kristian

I'd go Kaspar/Caspar, Kristian, Arlo, Jens, Ole/Olle, Konstantin, Jesper, Rune, Thorsten and would've loved Loki as a middle but all the boys in our family get Somer/Zomer for some reason.

FWIW, the last Scandi named boy I met was called Atli

Loki is not really the kind of half god you would want to name a child after!

August, Nils, Mikkael, Jan, Anders, Lukas

I have worked with a Jussi, Tovoi (Topi), Timo who were all Finns.

Ooh Stig: very cool.

For some reason Jussi makes me think of a dog but I think that's watching too much Wallander on tv...

I have a lot of names, from my family=Johan, Jørgen, Ole, Jan Erik, Jan Arne, Vidar, Esben, Joachim, Andreas, Magnus, Tormod, Jarle, Ulf, Tore, Kjell and Kjetil pronounced Chell and Chesil, i would give you the names of my workmates but have to go. Will come back with more.

Kjetil is pronounced Chetil

My DS has both Soren and Lief as middle names and he is only one, def not just for over 60s!

And yet Loki is not uncommon. Although admittedly more commonly spelt Loke. Anyway, I forgot Hannes, Hans, Håkan, Björn, Åke (although that I only know from compound names.

Good list here of Norwegian names www.ssb.no/a/kortnavn/navn/gutter2003-2012.html

Fredrik is my favourite.
My DH is obsessed with the name Ragnar. Don't know why.

Kaspar, Mikkel, Jakob

I like Fredrik, Thijs, Henrik, Per, Johan but they are all rules out as they're close family members! Bit annoying to have a family with such nice names

I like Magnus, it was on my list of boys names. Also like Brimar and Ebbi but OH vetoed them.

Also like Otto, but the dog is called that ;)

Malakai

Marcello

Matteo

Montana

Torin
Helgi
Thorkell

My friend spells Nils as Niels for her son - maybe its the Danish vs Swedish way? I absolutely love it now although its a pain I think for her with the whole 'not neil, nielS' all the time..

I love Gustav, it's one of my favourite names.

How about Olli or Olaf? Ranulf?
