Northern European boy names

[ArabeIIaFigg]

We’re expecting a boy so my lists of girl names left over from DD have gone out the window. Any thoughts on the following, and any additional ideas?

I love:
Arthur (not in UK so popularity isn’t an issue)
Magnus
Gustav
Alaric (hormones?)
Wolfram
Otto (tricky as used by a close relative)

DH loves:
Knut (FFS)
Lars
Mads
Anders
(I don’t like any of them…)

Ideas? Please?

Matti
Kimi

I like Alaric and Magnus.

Erik
Oskar
Axel
Caspar
Emil
Henrik
Mattias

BIL wanted to call DNephew Knut spelt with a C. Changed his mind when he figured people who heard the name would write Newt. How about Lochlann or Olaf?

Nils
Jan/Yann
Ansel or Anselm (I prefer Ansel)
Roland
Timo
Albin
Anton
Ulrich
Loic (Breton name as opposed to Northern European)
Joachim (Yoakim)- which is a biblical name but used in Europe DD11's best friend is a Dutch boy named Joachim, for example.

Knut... it's just a swift nooo, isn't it?

I love Torben and Bror.

I like Magnus and Anders from your original selection. Knut would be a hard no from me as well for obvious reasons, and gave me a good giggle.

Scandinavian menfolk I know are called:

Nils
Thomas
Konstantin
Sven
Erik
Viktor
Trond ('Tron')
Björn
Jore (Yoh-ruh)

Tor
Leif
Tyr

Alaric is lovely as is Lars. Eric maybe?

Agree that from a UK perspective Cnut is not workable . Canute? (Not much better maybe!)

Jakob/Jacob, with the Yakob pronunciation?

Magnus makes me think of the TV presenter. Guess I'm showing my age there.

Ivan
Stellan
Arnie
Gunnar
Leif
Roscoe
Jenson

Where do you live and do you have links to Scandinavia?

How about
Marten (has an access above the a, so pronounced Mohrten)
Severin
Julius

We have Swedish and Norwegian family and like all of these

Access = accent!

Henrik
Isak
Aksel
Runar
Magnar
Jostein

I love Torben and Caspar.

Tor
Jesper
Johannes
Otto
Aksel

I discovered Torben (little bear) here this week and love it. Also
Arlo
Otto
Hans
As pp have said though, what’s your Scandi connection?

I'm Swedish and a lot of the name on here are quite surprising to hear anyone suggest. Gunnar, Stellan, Leif for example are all men in their 70's now. Names that are not cool and retro yet, just old. A bit like naming your child Craig or Gary today in the UK.

Names I do like are:

Viggo
Odin
Albin
August

I'd be careful with names such as Magnus or Knut as they tend to not be pronounced correctly by English speaking people. Magnus should be Mang-nus, not Mag-nus and Knut should be pronounced with the K and the nut sounds like nout (rhymes with fluit).

I like Magnus, Arthur and Alaric (in that order).

Rollo
Stellan
Soren

Oh I love Mads, what a fab name for a boy

Einar

Dravis

Arne

I really like Knut, it's like Canute.

We live in Germany. DH is German/Danish.
