Scandinavian Baby Names

Come 2013, baby names will take a turn to blonder, Nordic climes. This year the hottest names will be Scandinavian inspired -- think Soren, Axel and Magnus. (In fact, we're already starting to see the uptick: Country crooner Jennifer Nettles and The Hunger Games star Elizabeth Banks both recently chose Magnus for their newborns.) This comes on the heels of everything Scandinavian -- design, food -- being hot, plus the popularity of The Avengers' hunky superhero Thor. American parents are warming to the sound of these strong, unfussy names -- especially for boys, says Linda Rosenkrantz of Nameberry.com. So look for Scandinavian monikers -- including the exotic-but-not-too-weird Axel, Viggo, Leif and Lars -- to hit as hard as Thor's mighty hammer.

What do you think of this up and coming baby name trend? Anyone planning to use a Scandinavian name for baby?

Well I live on the Scandinavian peninsula so I used an old tradtional girlname for my daughter.
One word of warning, dont belive every thing you read about Swedish names, these are not name Flicka, Trinda and Fisk, they are words meanings girls, fat/ plump and juicy and fish but you can find them on sites as Swedish names.
Tindra how ever is a girlsname and it means sparkle.
