In honor of an epic snowfall in western WA this week, and as a nod to its prominent Scandinavian population (which includes myself), and because I dislike pansy names for boys and these names are certainly not that, here is a brief list of strong Norse names suitable for any little viking:
Fairly Mainstream yet still warrior-strong:
Leif
Victor
Thane
Finn
Axel
Dane
Gunner
Erik
Or if you want something really hardcore Norse, that practically drips with manliness, here are a few options:
Fenris- A mythical monster wolf
Halvard- Rock defender
Hrimfaxi- A mythical horse of night whose bridle drips the morning dew
Ingemar- Of the sea
Bjomolf- Bear wolf
Bodolf- Wolf leader
Eitri- A mythical dwarf (or maybe you don't really want to name your kid that...)
Finn is a really popular one now, I think. I really like Erik but it might be overused.
