    Norse names or similar

    Well, as some of you know, I just posted not long ago about wanting to use Griffin in a combo. Mu husband said we could do it with Alexander Dante Griffin. Now he wants to use Loki. He's always had an affinity to the Norse gods and culture, so I said sure. Now he says we just need to use double middles for everyone. I'm fine with that as I picked most of the other names. So we need some Norse names. I know that names from Iceland and places like that have similar names so that might be fine, but idk. Norse mythology names would be great. The baby names I already have picked out are in my signature if you want reference.

    Thank you so much in advance!

    I can't really be bothered doing to much research ATM, but I thought of Freya straight away. I'll come back when I've actually put some effort in.

    I love Eira, Idunn, Signy, and Mist.

    I also got Eisa off your website and was wondering exactly how to say it. Is it like ICE-uh?

    Also, my Norse Mythology book lists Idunna, is that a legit alteration?

    Off your second list I like:
    I don't know as much about the Norse language so I might need some help on a few of these.

    Eostre -- is this eh-oh-struh?
    Njörun (NYEU-roon) -- Love this! I always loved names with the umlaut O. I love the sound it makes.
    Saga***
    Zisa -- Zee-sa or zis-uh?

    Eostre and Zisa are more German. I believe Eostre is Anglo-Saxon and should be pronounced EES-treh. There is also Ostara. Zisa is German, should probably be pronounced (ZEE-sah). Yes. Eisa is (ICE-ah).

    Apparently, Idunna is an obscure Norwegian modern form of Idun. So yes, it is legit.

    There is also the English Idoney (IDE-eh-NEE).
