danish baby girl name ideas please

[Vik24]

For various reasons we are looking for a danish girl’s name to use.

We like:
Ida
Asta
Elva

Do you have any other suggestions?

Pia
Kirsten
Helle
Sofie
Susanne

Signe
Lone
Silje
Ingrid
Agnes

Hedda
Ine

Rikke
Tove
Ditte
Lise

I like Ida but they do say it EE-da, which might be annoying for her here

Sanne
Safina
Agnete
Liv
Astrid
Thora

Kristina.

Just a warning - I know a little Asta (Danish but Iives in London), and many, many people mistake it for Asda.

@Labradoodlie now you’ve said it, I can’t ignore! Haha

thanks everyone

Maja? Pronounced Maya, I knew a lovely Danish woman with that name although it has potential pronunciation issues. Freja?

You are welcome!

A few more
Pernille
Lina/Line
Johanna/Johanne
Bente
Stine

Another lovely Danish girl name is Søs, which is short for/a diminutive of "søster", which means "sister", but the ø might be tricky to use if you are not in Denmark.

Mie (pronounced me-a)
Stine
Lisette
Cecillie
Else (Elsa)
Mette

Inge

I was just today thinking to myself if I ever had another baby (not happening) and it was a girl, I'd love to use the name Tove.

Maya
Stine
Juni

I really like Runa.

We seriously considered Aster (spelt like the flower - we’re not Danish) for DD. Eventually discounted it due to the Asda connection. Still really like it though!

I also like:
Frida
Hanne
Alma
Tilde
Josefine

Oh, and I’ve never heard Runa before but it’s lovely.

Astrid

Josefine
Benedikte
Henriette
Astrid
Birgitte
Louise
Alexandrine
Ingrid

I know a few people called Rune (pronounced Runa) but they’re all men.
Tilda
Luisa
Greta
Gerda
Elsa
Mika (Meeka)
Flora
Leika
Lia

Linnea is lovely also

Is there a reason for wanting a Danish name?
If you are going to be based in the UK, consider how the name will be said in the UK. If only one parent is Danish, consider the different ways your friends and families will say it.

Ee-da/Eye-da, Fry-eh/Fray-a/Fredja etc

I knew a Danish lady called Kiss

To echo this - my dad is Danish but we have English names because he couldn't bear English pronunciation. If you do pick a Danish name and aren't Danish (not clear from your OP) check that you're pronouncing it right so you don't end up with a Leif said Leaf which I've heard twice recently.

Are you looking for traditional names or the names of young kids now? If I look at the names of kids in my kids classes there’s: Gry, Emmelie/ Emily/Emilie, Anna, Martha, Johanne, Laura, Mathilde, Isabella/e, Sofia/e, Klara, Olivia, Freja, Ronja. Not very different to British I would guess but pronunciation would be different. And be careful of the names ending in e/a. For Danes these are very different but as a foreigner I cannot hear much difference between their pronunciation of eg Sofie and Sofia 😅

I like Mette.
