Hi!
Partner is Danish and we'd like to give our new little one (yet to arrive) a Danish name.
Have looked up the common ones but nothing has stood out. Thanks :-)

I'd have thought for a girl Sofie would have been suggested by several people.

Too many Sofie relatives! Sadly!

Read all these & think I've got one not been mentioned, I worked with a Steen.
Love that, and Karsten.
Also Jonas - pronounced Yonas
Ole... not sure if the spelling. (Boy)

For a girl, Elsa (my granny's name). Or my dad's cousin's name: Inga.

Boys: Pieter, Karl (think it's actually Carol bit that could be problematic in this country. Wink)

ThatshallotBaby · 27/05/2022 06:00

I love Inge. But it may be Norwegian.

Does Elin or Elina work in Danish for a girl? Love both those names, but I will be working off the Finnish/Swedish pronounciation, which isn't toooooo too bad in English. Also Katja?

newstart1234 · 30/05/2022 19:57

Elin become il-eeen,
Elina become il-eena,
Katje becomes Ket-ya,

In danish, I think

newstart1234 · 30/05/2022 19:58

Ket-chya maybe is more accurate for Katja.
