Hi!
We're due a new baby boy very soon, but at a loss for names.
Our first son's name is Lars.
Any suggestions appreciated! Thankyou!

Don't do names that are vastly differently pronounced in Scandinavia to the UK so like Leif, Anders, Knud, Frederick, Christian,Bjørn The names are so different in how you say them.

How about
Carl
Asger
Lasse (close to Lars I know)
Peter/Peder

Side step from the post.....how are those names pronounced vastly different in Scandinavian?
I'm genuinely interested in their correct pronunciation
