Sister for Agnes???

[NorseMum]

Heey!

We are a Nordic/English family and have a daughter called Agnes.

We are expecting another girl, but can't agree on a girls name that works in both regions. Please help!!

We like the following...

Agnes & Eira
Agnes & Astrid
Agnes & Asta

Edith?

Enid
Elaine

I like Agnes and Astrid

Astrid is gorgeous

My DD is Enid and if we'd had another, she'd have been Agnes. 😂

I like Eira OP, the others are lovely names but a bit matchy.

Eliza
Anya
Margot

I love Agnes and have an Astrid so that’s my vote!

I like Astrid (everyone will have some idea of how to pronounce it) but will it be annoying for your daughters to both get post addressed to Miss A Surname?

How would you pronounce Eira?

I love Astrid although not sure on it with Agnes.

What about Frida?

Love Astrid…but to ‘A’ initials can be difficult.

Elsie?

We would pronounce it "Eye-ra" 🙂
This name is currently no. 47 most popular girls name in Norway and no. 83 in Sweden.

Yes, love Edith, but think I prefer Eira as it has stronger Norse links (she was a Norse godess) 🙂

I think Eira is beautiful. Gorgeous, strong name.

Orla
Harriet
Ethel

Love Enid, would have gladly used this name but it is not very well-known in the Nordic countries. Glad you like Agnes! 😜
Agree that Asta and Astrid are a bit matchy...
thanks!!

Love Margot, but it sounds quite harsh in Norwegian/Swedish...almost like "Marr-ggot"...

This is partly what I am worried about, that Miss A Surname will be a bit matchy... also don't want to be stuck on "A" in case we have any more children 😂

How about:

Agnes and Clara
Agnes and Nora
Agnes and Vera?

Audrey

All lovely, thanks!! 😍

Ingrid?

Astrid, fabulous name - always loved it!

Love Astrid

Ingrid
Esther
Sigrid
Inger
Frida
Imogen

Agnes and Elin
Agnes and Greta
Agnes and Frida
Agnes and Saskia
Agnes and Beata
Agnes and Vera

I think Eira is really lovely though.

Agnes and Astrid is gorgeous! The only issue is the A initial thing that they’d both be Miss A surname which may be confusing for post etc.

I don’t have much experience on what works in Norwegian/ Swedish but here are some suggestions.

Agnes and Mabel
Agnes and Ida
Agnes and Saskia
Agnes and Elsie
Agnes and Orla
Agnes and Roma
Agnes and Etta
Agnes and Della
Agnes and Ruby
Agnes and Ella
Agnes and Zara
Agnes and Nola
Agnes and Freya
Agnes and Livi
Agnes and Vera
Agnes and Evie
Agnes and Eva
