Scandinavian Boys Names!

[househuntingFTM]

Husband is Danish.
Any suggestions?
We like ones which end in 'ben' in particular - like Torben.
Thankyou!

Ah, I came to suggest Ari as I absolutely love it but it doesn't meet your ben ending. Following with interest as I like scandi names and I am really struggling with finding boys names.

Open to those not ending in ben also :-)

Not quite ben but Aspen?

Not sure about Scandi Names ending in - ben, but I love Soren, Stellan, Erik, Thor, Mads, Elias, Lars, Magnus, Mathias, Nikolaj and Anders

Only one I can think of is Esben

Sven-Ben

Esben

@househuntingFTM Ari would be on my list except I work for a Scandi company and one of the members of management - the one I indirectly report to - is called Ari and it would like waaay too like I named my child after him

Lars is another I like but I don't know if I can pull it off!

Preben

Thanks for these!

Thanks! Open minded to those not ending in ben also :-) Esben sounds like s-bend which is part of a toilet, do you think kids would bully him? Eek.

How about moving the Ben?
Benedikt

Oyvind (oi ee vind) love that name

I love the name Emil

I really like Stellan

Morten

Thoren is ds1, cool kid aged 16 now , loves his Scandinavian roots, no one near his unusual name only a few Torin s we have met over the years

Thor, Pn Tor.

Scandi / nordic names, (unless regional versions of more recent germanic or biblical names, for instance; Niklas, Mattias, Joakim, Tomas etc) often sound weird when spoken 'in English' and it can be tiring to keep explaining and correcting. Very few truly nordic names work well here, but if you've the patience, here are some ideas:
Agne, Ambjörn, Arvid
Björn, Birger, Bo, Bertil, Bengt, Börje
Dag, Dan
Erik, Ebbe, Edvin, Egon
Göte, Gösta, Gunnar, Gustav
Hans, Henrik
Ivar, Inge
Jon, Jonas, Jan
Kalle, Kåre, Kjell
Lars, Love, Loke, Leif
Måns
Nils
Ove
Per / Pär
Rune, Rolf, Ragnar
Sune, Sven, Sverker, Stig
Ture, Tryggve, Truls, Torbjörn, Tage
Uve, Ulrik
Vidar, Viggo, Valdemar, Valter
Your Danish DH will be able to help with pronunciation as the vowel sounds and stresses are usually totally different, and will also sound different in Danish compared to my Scandinavian native tongue.

I love the name Otto

Danish names I can vaguely pronounce (I’m from UK)...
Henrik
Ronni
Kristian
Rune
Christofer (pronounced more krist-OFF-er)
Morten
Maarten

Do you want Danish names? There is no such thing as "Scandinavian names".

@MeringueCloud

Do you want Danish names? There is no such thing as "Scandinavian names".

Because it's a bit like saying: "My DH is Welsh, we'd like a British name. How about Siobhan?"
