Saga
While listening to NPR the other day, I heard a story about a Swedish-American girl (born to an American father and Swedish mother) who discovered a 1500-year-old sword in a lake somewhere in Sweden. I know Saga is common in Scandinavia, but I never seriously reflected on it as a name until I heard the story, and now I'm smitten. I love its contemporary association with the word "saga" and its Old Norse meaning, "seeing one," as well as the fact that it's the name of the Norse goddess of poetry and history. What does everyone else think? I'm especially interested in the opinions of those who don't live in Scandinavia, where it's a recognized name. (For the record, I'm American.)Here are some combos:Saga Beatrice
Saga Berenice

Saga Bertille
