My impression of Norwegian name trends right now is that it is quite popular to choose names that actually are quite dated. I know young children named Inga, Lars, Olaf (he is a bit older than Frozen), Håvard (almost like Howard in English), Amund, Sigrid, and the list can go on. Some choose to name after a relative in their family tree, and others just likes the good, old Norwegian names. But I feel that the trend is blooming more and more, choosing names from our grandparents and great grandparents for our children instead of some fancy names from outside of Scandinavia.
