Viggo is neat. The actor makes it a bit more familiar.

Lage is unfortunate. I'm sure it doesn't sound exactly like leg, but it looks like it could. Or is it pronounced more like ladge? Either way it doesn't sound particularly nice.

I like Viggo and it's quite popular where I am. It's a simple name, most people will know the name and how to spell and pronounce it. Lage on the other hand... that is a difficult name. I don't necessarily think you have to choose a name that works well internationally. It's already a trend and quite a few names are 'dying' because of it. But I doubt most English speaking people would pronounce Lage correctly (lahg-eh) and even in Sweden it's an odd name. So not a fan.
Someone posted about Leif recently and only two or three people actually knew the correct pronunciation (not leef) and I guess that's fine but then it's not really the same name anymore and it has been adapted to the English speaking world and something is lost.

Probably fine in their own habitat, but they don't travel well. Especially Lage: looks a bit like Large, sounds - in dialects where final -r is not sounded - like lager.

Don't like
