These past months I've been trying to get pregnant, and that has made me increase my love for names. I've researched my familytrees and found some pretty interesting names. I live in Finland, in a swedish-speaking area. I thought I'd share some of my favourites;


Girl:
Adele (common name)
Anna (common name) (also my given name)
Vilhelmina (common name)
Alina (common name)
Erica (common name) (my middle name)
Cedi (b.1916)
Elvy (b.1920)
Aldine(b.1920)
Senny (b.1926)
Senni (b.1917)
Viola (b.1917)
Signe (b.1921)
Aura (b.1897)
Nikolina (b.1916) (my 2nd middle name)
Naimi (b.1892)

Boy:

Fredrik (common name)
Leonard (common name)
Henry (b.1940)
Sixten (b.1941)
Marcel (b.1941)
Hugo (b.1910)
Cedri (b.1921)
Isidor (b.1869)
Ilmar (b.1896)
Henrik (b.1967)
Daniel (b.1756)

Anyway, my grandpa's mom was named Cedi, and her twinbrother named Cedri. I thought about if I got a girl, I'd name her Cedrica. It's not unique as in trying to hard, but yet it's not that common either. If I got a boy I'd love to name him Henry - I just love that name! Also because it's my grandpa's brothers name, who drowned at the age of 16.

I have seen Signe so many times in this community lately. Can't say I care for it. It probably fits in better in a Scandinavian or Nordic country, though.

I really don't like Cedrica, but I like Cedri.

I like Nikolina because my name is Kolina. :) And it's Swedish!

I agree about it fitting better here in the Nordic countries,
and it's becoming quite popular here but I still like it.

It's funny, of the girl's names I really only like Anna, but of the boy's names I like almost all! Sixten and Isidor are amazing.
