I have an Astrid, everyone compliments the name

I love Astrid.

I also know a Finish woman called Silva, which is lovely too.

Astrid is lovely.

Also Signe, though hard to pronounce.

Sonja
Tuula
Lena

Boys, I always love Jarkko.

No idea how popular they are in real life, just met some of the above while abroad or they are from famous Scandinavians!

I rather like Solveig for a girl and Søren for a boy, but for all I know they may be the equivalents of Mavis and Derek.

I'm swedish and currently have friends with girls called Lo, Isabella, Maja, Sofia and Astrid. Boys names - the old ones seem popular now like Valter and Vilmar just off the top off My head. Don't know any Freya's or Thor's currently - probably been very overused!

@midsumermurdress For me Solveig has been an old ladies name eg my parents generation. So like a Mavis or a Vera. However these are now back in fashion in Sweden too so would not be strange to call your child that.

If DS has been a girl he would have been Thora

Could someone please tell me, how is Solveig pronounced?

'SOHL-vay'. Interesting to hear that Brokenchair. I suppose everything comes around again.

Boys:
Emil, Svend, Erik, Aksel, Gunner, Anders, Kaj

Girls: Astrid, Ingrid, Ingeborg, Ida, Freja, Agnes, Liv, Andrea

Liking Emil and Elias. Thanks!
Any other girls? I knew an Astrid growing up which has sadly put me off.

@BabyLlamaZen I love Scandi names. On my list are Eerika (or Erika), Ingrid, and Freyja. Also Alva (or Ylva), Else, Suren, Inge, Anneli, Solveig. For boys, Einar, Eira, Jarle.

That nameberry link nameberry.com/popular_names/Sweden is fascinating because so many of the popular girls names sound similar to popular choices in English speaking countries.

Casper/Kasper, Anders, Oskar, Jakob, Malthe, Frederick for boys

Klara, Maja, Mia, Karina, Anja, Runa for girls

These may be a tad Germanic but there's a bit of cross over with naming.

Really dislike Astrid, it's a bit unpleasant sounding to my ear and I can't get over the emphasis of the ass sound

Mette for a girl, pronounced metta

Haakon for a boy, pronounced hahkoon

Annika
Birgit
Kristina

I know girls called Hedda, Sanna, Marika, Sofie, Elin (pronounced Ey-leen)

Yes I know a lovely Sanna, it's a really nice name

I love Thor said as Tor
