What names make you instantly think the person is Scandinavian?

[namestasher]

A lot of popular names in Sweden/Denmark/Norway at the moment are typical of the UK - Emma, Olivia etc.

We're looking for names for our soon-to-be-born twins - both girls - which are clearly Scandinavian, and clearly demonstrates our heritage (as it would make our very strange last name make a lot more sense! 😂)

Would love some recommendations - thank you!
