Cutest Scandi boy name?

[NorseMum]

Scandi boy name? I asked a while back about a Scandi boy name that works in both the UK and Sweden... We have another name in mind now as well so wondered which name people like the best between: Nils and Otto?

Bear in mind, Nils is currently top 4 most given baby boy name in Sweden and Otto comes at no. 10.

I like Anders too, but it's not pronounced how it's spelled - in English at any rate. It's AHN-derz and it's lovely! I worked for a Swedish company for six years, so I picked up a few bits and bobs. Tack så mycket!

Vote for Nils (Holgerson) but my favourite is Leif

Nils (prefer Niels though)

Stellen is my favourite followed by Soren

My immediate thought was Soren. Beautiful.

A "scandi" name is not the same as a Swedish name. You want a Swedish name?

Otto is not pronounced the same in English and Swedish so I'd go with Nils out of the two. It won't be pronounced exactly the same in Swedish and English but the two pronounciations are fairly similar.

Otto cute. I also like Rasmus.

I love Linus. I know it's not Swedish origin but it's popular there.

Agree in Stellen and Rasmus as well.

But in Scandinavian it's Søren.

I love Julius

How are they both pronounced in Swedish?

I like the name Nils but I don’t like the nickname “Nisse” that most Swedish Nils’s get called . Otto is cute but yes it’s pronounced slightly differently in Sweden and England but that wouldn’t matter much to me personally. Other suggestions : Axel, Stellan, Anton, Oscar.

Otto is dreadful! It’s actually comical in Germany

Soren is really nice.

There's no such thing as "Scandinavian". It’s Sören in Swedish.

I prefer Björn to Otto.
