Scandi girls without the 'a'

Hi!
A new little girl due soon, Scandinavian heritage. Would love some name suggestions which don't end in 'a.'
Scandi preferred but not essential.
We've lots of the Eva/Ava/Freya-esque type names in the family, would like to avoid that kind of flavour if possible :-)
Thanks!

One of my favourite Scandinavian names is the Danish name Søs, diminutive for "Søster", which means sister. But it might be a tricky name to use if you live in an English-speaking country, with the "ø".
