Danish Names that Start With I

Ib, though it sounds insubstantial here, is actually a pretty common name in Denmark.

Ibsen is a literary hero name possibility, after the great Norwegian dramatist, Henrik I.  The name Ib is a short form of Jacob, so you might consider Ibsen as an honorific for or a twin of a Jacob.

Iver is a popular name in its native Norway, but parents in the U.S. are starting to take note of this rugged yet gentle name. Stemming from the original Norse name Ívarr, it is part of a small group of names with similar roots: Ivar, Ivor, Ivo, Ives, and Evander. It was brought to England by Scandinavian settlers in the Middle Ages, and to the US by in the 19th century.
 
Some of the American parents picking up on this name may attribute it to the indie folk band Bon Iver, founded by Justin Vernon who pronounces the latter half ee-VAIR.
 
No matter how you say it, Iver is making headway on this side of the Atlantic with a little under 100 boys receiving the name each year. This includes supermodel Coco Rocha, who picked Iver Eames for her son born in 2018.
