Could you share some of your favorite girl names with Scandinavian roots? We were going to use Anders Benjamin for our baby, but we found out it's actually a girl.

Ingrid is one of my favorite Scandinavian names, but it seems to be rising in popularity. Emma is a Germanic name that has been used in Nordic societies with some frequency. I also like Ylva perhaps because it means she-wolf and Tora which could be derived from Thora.
Some Scandinavian names:
Sigrid
Astrid
Eira
Johanna
Kristin
Maren
Ragna
Runa
Signy
Siri
Sunniva
Thora
Tyra
Eydis
Unna
Anja
