Our boy has a very strong sounding name, if it makes a difference

Thoughts please!

Astrid by miles.

Emilia is very nice.

I absolutely love Malin & Emilia! Freja/Freya & Maja are lovely but becoming quite popular now if that bothers you. Astrid reminds me of acrid so not my fav.

Freja Sofie and Astrid are lovely!

Malin and Astrid are the only two I would describe as strong and also as distinctively Scandinavian. The others are nice enough but are just slightly different spellings to names that are very very popular in the U.K., depends if that bothers you. You might think you're being original then she'll be in a class with a load of other Freyas, Sofias/sophies, Emilia/Amelias. Maja is pretty but just too similar to all the May/maya/mya/mia/etc names out there for me.

Astrid by far

elliandher5 · 05/07/2019 09:02

Maja and Astrid are my favourites x

Snowy81 · 05/07/2019 11:16

I like them all except Freja. I also like Suren.

Love Astrid. Goes great with Magnus too (did I guess right?!) Grin

starkid · 05/07/2019 14:36

I love Astrid (DH has vetoed it my end sadly)

Thanks for the opinions everyone! And no, not Magnus, but on the list in case the next one is a boy!
