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

I love:
Arve
Erlend
Erling
Espen
Ossian
Sverre
Valdemar

Some of these are probably more Norwegian sounding than Danish but may give you some inspiration.

I am Norwegian. Scandinavian name threads always make me giggle as people suggest some names who are really old fashioned and some I have never heard of (Ossian? Is that a Danish name?).
It’s like Norwegians discussing British names and top of the list will be Sharon, Tracy, Kevin.... just names rarely given to babies born today.

I am English/Norwegian/Danish origin Smile
Ossian - yes it's used in Denmark and also Sweden I think.
Different tastes show through name choice, some like modern, some like old fashioned. The world would be boring if we all like the same.

@MeringueCloud

Do you want Danish names? There is no such thing as "Scandinavian names".
I mean, sort of. By Scandinavian names, I'm referring to the fact that there is a lot of overlap between, for example, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian names - many of each can be found the same or in variant form within one of the others. Thanks :-)
