Scandi/Viking Style boys names

[Morganj28]

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.

Erik and Ragnar get my vote.

Bluetooth is an actual boy's name?

Ragnar is amazing!! Check this out and maybe your husband will change his mind. "Play that axe Ragnar" (it's a Horrible Histories video, don't worry!).

Just love these names. I could never think of a boys name when I was pregnant was was glad I had girls but most of these would have been perfect.

There are some exceptional boys names on here!

(just to note though that freya is really popular so if you wanted unusual I'd go back to the drawing board with this one - there are some brilliant viking/scandi girls names)

@ZebraKid71
Very true it is quite popular although it is a lovely name. A good few names:
Embla
Sol
Solveig/Solvej
Thora (pronounced Tora)
Thyra (Teer-rah)
Frigg or Frigga
Sif
Siw
Astrid
Sigrid
Ingrid
Yrsa
Liv
Ronja
Dagny
Frida

@ZebraKid71 we don’t know anyone called Freya And it was the first name we’ve ever agreed on so it’s kind of stuck.

That being said, any Viking girls names welcome

Errit. Im unsure of the spelling though.

Sorry, i think it's Eret.

Bluetooth/Blåtand is not an actual boys' name. Harald is, though I have never met one.

An awful lot of these names will cause pronunciation issues unless you completely bastardise them (which is no fun either). Names like Erik/Eric are pretty safe though.

Frigg or Frigga

I'd recommend steering well clear of this one as well as Cnut!

I know an 'Oddhinn'

He is 'spirited'

Love these, was going to suggest Per as a simpler option. I prefer Eric with a C for some reason. Eret, Harald are also good I think- I'd be looking for something unusual but not too LARP-y (Live Action Role Play).

@DixieFlatline totally agree, wouldn’t know how to pronounce half of these myself without googling

Thorfinn might work for you - would give you the Thor you are after but also gives you 2 different options for shortening it. I know a few (all Orcadian) and think it’s a great name

Valka is a female name.

(I got my two names from How To Train Your Dragon! We really like the movies)

Boys
Steinar (red headed and bearded warrior unconventional cop from the TV series Beck)

Ingvar

Aksel means father of Peace

Andri (Icelandic)

Per

Henrik (The Bridge)

For Girls

Saga (The Bridge - interestingly pronounced Saga as in the old legends or Sayga depending on which country the speaker was from.)

Inge pronounced like finger without the f.

Tove, I think one of the vowels has an accent, pronounced Torva

I watch far too much Nordic Noir

He is 'spirited'

You would hope so!

Hmm, maybe I should have named DC1 “Thor Cnut” after the mess he made of my fanjo on his way out

(Sorry)
(Not sorry)

@baffledMcbaffled howling 😂😂😂

PMSL at Thor Cnut.

Baffled I’m actually crying 😂

I have a Stefan. Not solely Scandinavian but it is used there.

Rune (nothing to do with a first - and unrequited- love) Roar and Ragnar are my favourites!
