So I love usual names am I’m trying to find an usual scandi/Viking boys name (Viking at the request of my DP).

We’ve decided on Freya for a girl. But we can’t agree on any boy names.

Can anyone help? Oh and it needs to go with a double barrel surname.

I’ve just been watching the last kingdom so I’m full of scary ones like Skorpa and Ubba Grin

My favourite is Sygurd/ Sigurd.
From Anya Seton's "Avalon".
One of the most memorable books I have ever read. (50 years ago).

IStandWithPosie I love Odin personally but was told it was a no go 😂😂

I also loved Gunnar but that was shot down too.

@MamaDane I love Thor & Odin but my DP said they’re too big of a name to live up to.

@Morgan28 but Freya is also a god in Nordic mythology. Wink

You could go for Tor if Thor is too godlike.

I've always liked Leif, not sure if that's in the same vein?

MamaDane · 28/11/2018 11:51

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar that's actually how we pronounce the name here too! At least in Denmark Thor is pronounced Tor.

Morganj28 · 28/11/2018 11:56

@MamaDane what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him with that one Wink

My Swedish nephew has friends called Johan, Lars and Ulf.

Morganj28 · 28/11/2018 11:57

@RiverTam I loved Ragnar. Problem I have is he says no but then can never give me an alternative

kenandbarbie · 28/11/2018 11:58

Oh yeah and Gunnar

Mumshotel · 28/11/2018 11:59

Albin is nice

Natsku · 28/11/2018 12:00

Well Frej (pronounced Frey) would be the boy's version of Freya

Otherwise I'd recommend Aslak - has always been top of my list though I decided in the end that my baby didn't look like an Aslak
