WDYT of Sigurd?

Sigurd is a family name on my father's side, and would honour three of my ancestors. It's one of our top middle names, but we've started to consider using it as a first name though we have a hard time coming up with middles for it.

Any suggestions? Preferably international names :)

Sigurd is cool. It's hardcore old mannish, which is very hip right now, and Siggy or Sig is a super fun nickname.

Ideas for middles:

Sigurd Vincent
Sigurd Albert
Sigurd Alexander - handsome
Sigurd Casper - CUTE
Sigurd Christian
Sigurd Felix
Sigurd Hugo
Sigurd Leo
Sigurd Magnus
Sigurd Matthias
Sigurd Maximilian
Sigurd Oliver
Sigurd Sebastian

I quite like it. I don't think I would use it myself but I wouldn't mind seeing it on a little boy. I don't know where you live but I wonder if the -gurd part doesn't become very guttural and unpleasant in English. When I say it, it's more like See-goord.
I assume you want to use it for a boy.

We live in Scandinavia, so the pronunciation is similar to 'see-guhr'. I really like [Sigurd] Alexander, Emmanuel, John and Louis; thank you!

Hm. Anna Sigurd might work. It could also be made a bit more modern if you spelled it Sigurde. Or changed the spelling. I understand if you want to keep it the same way, though.

Anna Sigurd...

I'm thinking for a boy. I didn't even realise Sigurd was used for girls? It's strictly male where I live.

I know a man named Siguard. It's not a family name, he was named for a friend of his father's.
His middle name is a surname-I won't include it, as it identifies him too nearly.
