Scandinavian Names...

[cherryboomstick.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone had any good sites for Scandinavian names, specifically Norwegian female names. I'm looking to give myself a new name since I have one of the most common names in the world (first, middle, and last). I really like Lene and Birgitte, but I'd like to look more into Scandinavian names first before ultimately deciding. :)

Thanks in advance.

The only thing w/ Scandinavian names is that most Westerners can't pronounce them or read them correctly.

That said, my daughter's adoptive parents named her Kaia Juliane (middle name is pronounced Yule-ee-ah-na), and it's Norwegian all the way.

Kajsa and Tuva first came into mind. Behindthename.com has a few Norwegian names: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/nor_f.php

I really like Freja. I'm pretty sure thats Scandanavian.

only thing is, the page is in norwegian (don't know if you can read it) so I linked you directly to girl names :)

This looks like name statistics for Norway? http://www.ssb.no/navn_en/

And one for Sweden as well: http://www.scb.se/templates/Product____30909.asp

I decided to change my common middle name to something Norweigan, and I settled on Valkyrie.

How did you go about changing your middle name, by the way? Did you have to do it formally through court? :)

Thank you! I'm nowhere near fluent in Norwegian, but I've been studying it for a few months so I can get an idea of the navigation for the most part. :)

No problem :)

Let me know which one you choose, ok? :)
