So, thinking about names... Completely undecided!
We have recently come across a new name- Ulfur. I am Icelandic, and hopefully soon after the baby is born, we will be living in Iceland again. Ulfur (Ull-foor, not Ull-fur) means Wolf. I've always liked the nickname Wolfie. Would it be alright to nickname him Wolfie? Do you like the name? DH is dual-passport, as are my kids, and this baby will probably be a dual-nationality too. We will hopefully be coming back a lot, and we might even live in Wales (where we are now) or the rest of the UK again, so it can't be too odd.
For boys, our list is-
Ulfur Jakob (Yakob) OR Ulfur Isak (said Issak)- both are Icelandic names, Jakob features in Hebrew (DH's first language due to being Israeli) which is important for us too.
Finnegan Joshua Aharon (Finnegan is non Icelandic, however Finn is quite common in Iceland)
Lukas Benjamin Isaiah Lukas is Icelandic, but also fits into English, which is a good thing for us.
Henrik Aleksi Robert
For girls, our list is-
Katrin Elisabet
Susannah Katrin (I love the name Susannah- and as well as Susie for a nickname, there is 'Sanna' which is an Icelandic name)
Kerstin Hanna (both names Icelandic)
Pippi Sofia Katrin (worried about associations with Pippi Longstocking- but my sister, who died when she was six, was called Pippi- Katrin Pippi Sofia?)
Thanks!
