Any ideas?

Possibly scandinavian/viking sounding names would be good? I like Erik but DH vetoed it :(

We were set on Max but then my best friend used it.

I like Tor/Thor & Axel
I know you said Scandinavian but what about older shortened English names-
Jim
Bob
Bill
Rix (short for Richard)

It’s so personal- imo Marco or Louie are the opposite of strong names

Mumsnet would love that OP -go for it!

Lifeonmars77 · 27/03/2019 18:33

Ahh Erik was on our shortlist too! We bottled it in the end though and called him Luke 😊

Aozora13 · 27/03/2019 18:33

Oh I was going to say Max! What about Lars?

Rosie1976mini · 27/03/2019 18:43

Liam - means strong willed warrior (I have one and he is!)

similarminimer · 27/03/2019 18:51

Ivan is good but sounds a bit too Russian to me? Ivo is on the list though. Odin is cool, but a bit Goddy.

I also love Olaf but everyone tells me that it's ugly and the name of a snowman. But it's so cool!!!

Also adding Otto and Wulfric to the list!

Oh Magnus is good.

Is it deemed too over the top in England? I mean, it's clearly more out there than Erik and Max.
