Scottish or Scandinavian names anyone?

[HD98]

Any suggestions of Scottish or Scandinavian names that aren't too common but not too out there? Boys and girls!

Mirren/Maren or Lorna for a girl,
Mirren is a boy’s name- after the saint.
Lorna is nice.

Thank you all! I really love a lot of these names, lots are already on my list and others have been added!

@MagnusMama You're right that Magnus fits perfectly but it's actually the name my friends intends to use so I can't steal it! A great name though!

@Grobagsforever I've always liked Astrid too! Good choice :)

Re Mirren

Yes, there was a male St Mirren (and still is a fotball club) but Mirren is also a long-established female name. I know of several.

It's based not on the mle saint's name (Latinised as Merinus) but on the old Irish Gaelic 'Muirenn'.

Double-barrelled first names seem to be (to me in my limited experience) the equivalents to more dated names that you would expect someone in their 50’s to have (sigg-Britt, Anni-frid, inger-lovisa)

There are a lot with ‘English’ names but are pronounced differently - Sally, Molly etc are popular but the y at the end is pronounced very low and like an ‘erh’ . Doesn’t sound super nice to an English ear but they think it’s cute!
