Some names of Norse gods and goddesses, or names that just appear in Norse mythology. Most of them I would use for middle names since they're kinda obscure. I've mostly written the Swedish forms. Jättefina allihopa i alla fall
- Balder
- Eir
Origin:
NorseMeaning:
"peacefulness, mercy"Description:
So airy, it's almost not there.
- Fjorgyn
- Hel
- Hermod
- Idun
Origin:
NorseMeaning:
"ever young"Description:
Idun is a modern transcription of Iðunn, the name of the goddess of apples — possibly representing fertility — and youth in Norse mythology. The similarity in pronunciation to Eden could add some points in favor of Idun or perhaps add some confusion.
- Njord
Origin:
ScandinavianMeaning:
"north"Description:
Pronounced to rhyme with fjord, the Norse god of the sea's name, this would make an unorthodox choice for sea-lovers and fishermen.
- Njorun
- Oden
- Ran
- Tor
Origin:
Variation of Thor, also Hebrew for "Turtledove"Meaning:
"Turtledove"Description:
An interesting and attractive bicultural choice--the Hebrew version is used for babies born in spring, when turtledoves arrive--especially as a middle.
- Tyr
Origin:
Norse, God of law and heroic victoryDescription:
Tyr is a very early embodiment of a Norse god, typically thought to guide the law, justice, war and victory.
