4th Baby Girl - Swedish Names

47 replies

sportsmixture2202 · 30/07/2019 23:34

I am Swedish, my husband is English. We are in England 75% of the time, spending all school holidays in Sweden.

Baby number 4 is due early September.

Our 3 girls are
Rebecka Milla , Ellinor Carin and Linnea Astrid.

We can't decide on a name for our 4th girl. Her middle name will be Marie

Tyra Marie
Evy Marie (Evy = EV-ee not EE-vie)
Thora Marie
Asta Marie

Which is your favourite?

Asta is lovely. Evy would be my second choice but you may find that UK people will automatically try and say 'Ee-vy'.
Tyra is OK I suppose. Thora, at least in the UK, has quite an 'old lady' image, probably due to the late actress, Thora Hird.

Asta is life lovely. Thora sounds ugly is the th is pronounced as i is in the actor Thora Hird’s name. Has been used for a long time in England and not pronounced as Tora.
Have you thought of Tove?
Four girls- how wonderful!

Oh I forgot that Thora does exist in the U.K.! I guess it’s pronounced correctly then (in terms of Scandinavian pronounciation) as Tora? It is a very old lady name though, which could make it perfectly hipster if that’s your thing.

Lumi?

Ninkaninus · 31/07/2019 13:01

Oh x post! If it’s not pronounced Tora then I agree it’s quite an ugly name (sorry to any Thoras!).

helpmum2003 · 31/07/2019 13:04

Asta is pretty.
Evy will be mispronounced, but I like it.
Tyra don't like
Thora - agree with others about Thora Bird.

I love Astrid and Inga

DickVanTyke · 31/07/2019 14:58

I love Asta, also love Evy but as pp’s I would worry about pronunciation here. Good luck deciding!

SmartPlay · 31/07/2019 15:11

I don't like any of those. I do like your other daughters's names, even though I find Linnea a bit overused.
Are Asta and Thora really swedish names? Never heard of them. Except Asta they'd probably all be pronounced wrongly on a regular basis and you daughter will have to spell her name regularly too - this can be quite annoying.
Asta would make people think of Asda.

pinkcosmos · 31/07/2019 15:17

Thora and Astrid. Love the names you've already picked for the other DC too. Beautiful.

FrothyB · 31/07/2019 16:05

I like Asta the best. I love Astrid as a name aswell, but it's been vetoed for our upcoming daughter.

Frith2013 · 31/07/2019 17:02

Asta or Thora.

midsomermurderess · 31/07/2019 22:12

Thora.

sheshootssheimplores · 31/07/2019 22:18

Asta definitely ❤️

LittleDoritt · 31/07/2019 22:23

Loooove Asta and Thora. Not very keen on the other two.

Letthemysterybe · 31/07/2019 22:24

I like Asta the best of
Your choices, but one of my all time favourite girls names is Greta, so I would choose that!

MollyHuaCha · 31/07/2019 22:26

Asta Marie

SwedishEdith · 31/07/2019 22:26

Asta is lovely. Is Thora pronounced Tora? Nice if it is, less nice (in the UK) if Thora.

Enko · 01/08/2019 07:32

Asta or Thora would work best in both languages.

Could I throw in Katrina or Ida as suggestions?

JustTheCrowsAndTheBeef · 01/08/2019 08:03

LOVE Thora. DC2 would have been Thora if he had been a girl.

user1493494961 · 01/08/2019 08:06

Evy or Asta, Thora is dreadful.

Icklepup · 01/08/2019 08:10

Thora Marie

AverageMummy · 01/08/2019 08:13

Asta is lovely and Thora seems super cool but Tyra sounds awful to me sorry
