[Opinions] Re: Icelandic / Scandivian
I fail to see how these are better than my combos only on the grounds that they are less familiar. Their flow offers little melody, and you have two which begin with the letter S--something to be avoided when naming multiples. Remember, individuality is invaluable. :)No one is impressed by your ability to click on a link and compile a short list. It's melody, flow and complementary contrast which succeed in compelling a person of superior taste.

That was rude.Seriously, why do you feel the need to say stuff like that? It's just counterproductive and doesn't do anybody any good. Next time you're going to make a post like this, sit back for a minute and think about what everyone else is going to think of it.You've been given more than a fair chance on this board when it comes to posting malicious stuff, and after keeping quiet about it for a long time, I'm SICK AND TIRED OF IT. So stop. Please and thank you.

And there is your problem again. :-D"Superior" taste.Eir: Norse Goddess of Healing, it's the name of my niece.
Ragnar: My grandfather's middle name.
Solveig: A long-time favorite.
Elin: Ditto the above.
Stellan: Love the meaning, love the sound of it.
Nils is the only one I'm unsure of. I wanted to use Tancred, a name that I adore, but it's listed as Germanic on the board. not Scandinavian.As for having two names that start with the same letter? Not a big deal. My husband is Alexander, his brother is Anthony and it's not an issue.I'd rather have my names be clunky than so perfect that they seem to be meaningless. Again we'll have to agree to disagree.

Two other quick thingsI meant that Tancred was listed as Germanic on this site, not the board.Aki is just a very awesome name, especially with its' meaning. Tancred Leif & Stellan Ragnar would be better, I think. (Leif is a family name)
