Swedish/fancy baby boy

[pennypom]

Hi!
Swedish family due DS3 terrifyingly soon!
We have one little boy with a classic Scandinavian name, and one with an English aristocratic type name (think Montgomery, Peregrine,Hugo-style)

Would love some suggestions along either of those lines - Swedish et al, or just a bit posh :-)
Thank you :-)

Konstantin? Feels like it ticks both boxes… Good luck with the baby!

Valentine
Maurice
Gregory
Caspian

Ivor

Sebastian
Elias
Timothy

Rupert

Jasper

Casper
Otto
Tobias

Soren?

Love it, but feels a bit too Greek/Mediteranean?

Love Rupert but reminds my partner of a terrible person from school 😂

Isn’t is Russian?

Fabian
Florian

Ah, perhaps Konstantin is Russian, either way it doesn't feel quite right.
Fabian and Florian are gorgeous, but we've BOTH in the family already! 😂

Kaspar. I went to school with one who was Finnish although I think the name might be German.

Ivo
Piers
Ernest
August
Alistair
Benedict
Jeremy
Hugh
Rafferty/Rafe
Inigo
Ainsley
Crispin
Wyndham
Percy
Leonard
Archibald
Tristram

Posh names with aristocratic associations in Sweden include names such as

• Carl/Karl
• Erik
• Fredrik
• Henrik
• Oscar/Oskar
• Gustav/Gustaf
• Johan

Or double names such as Carl-Johan/Nils-Oscar etc

I really wanted Leif but it was a hard no from Swedish Husband! We also toyed with Otto, Olle and Mattias.

I think Thorbjörn is about the coolest name I've ever head but couldn't bring myself to actually saddle a child that lives in the UK with it (although coincidentally it was the name of the person DH spoke to when he called to find out how to register DS so we can get him a Swedish passport in the future).

I also like Lars but at the risk of outing myself it does not work with our surname!

Having read above suggestions I actually think Sebastian ticks both of your boxes?

Both Sören and Leif are much more working class 1940s/50s names so wouldn't choose any of those.

Other Swedish suggestions could be:

Valdemar
Nils
August
Valter
Finn

Torkel
Torsten
Folke
Vilhelm
Bertil
Ragnar
Arvid
Tage

Magnus, Torsten, Stellan?

Sebastian and Philip tick both?

Alexander is the other obvious one that ticks both boxes - so may Alexes around though - same for Oscar and Lucas

Nicholas/Nicolas (nn Nico maybe)

Hugo - I don't know if it's Swedish traditionally but I think it's quite popular there

Magnus

Javier

Is a fancy baby boy different to the standard-issue type everyone else gets?

Massive eye roll.
Thought I'd managed to slip by your lot. Alas.

And you obviously know the answer to the question is yes - or would you happily name your children something like Mersaydees or Brixtyn?

Give me a break.
