baby name help please.....

Okay, as of now, Baby L 2.0 is simply going to be named, baby L 2.0 forever.....

Anyone have great thoughts/suggestions for boy or girl names that are:
-Unique but not too "weird"
-not common
-we tend to lean toward Scandanavian names, our last name is French (I think most of you know it from FB...)
-one, maybe 2 syllables
-Middle name for a girl will be Marie, boy Howard-those are staying no matter what
-does not begin with an A, or rhyme with Anders

here are our thoughts so far...
Boy: Orin or Boden (nn Bode, yep just like the skier), maybe Brooks, but I'm a little meh about it...
Girl: Berrit or Simone (a little more popular than I normally go for....)

  • Girl names: Nora, Stella, Caroline, Lydia (one of my favs, although I'm not sure you would like it with your last name). I really like Simone

    Boy names: Griffin, Wiley, Wyatt (biased of course), Beau, Emmett. Out of the 2 you posted I really like Orin

  • You could do Ove, Scove or Alf-those are pretty Scandinavian!

    (This is DH's Grandpa and Uncles names-Ryan is trying to convince me that we should name our kid "Osa" after them :-)

    Super helpful I know.

  • Girls: Quinn, Mia & Kirsten

    Boys: Beau, Gabe, 

     I like Bode!

  • If I'm thinking Scandinavian, I like Tobias for a boy. That was my Norwegian great grandfather's name and my brother's middle name. For a girl... Maybe Elisabet (rather than Elisabeth) or Elenor.

    I LOVE Bode! I actually worked with a Bode, and he was cool :) 

  • I absolutely love Boden (Bode is great)!  I also know a guy whose last name is Brooks and everyone calls him that because he was one of about 5 Jasons in his class.  People always think that's his first name.  I really like Brooks as a first name. 

     Girl names I am zero help.  (see my nameless baby post below Smile  Sorry!

    Boy: Blaise

    Girl:  Bliss

    Boy: Blaise

    Our waiter once was named Blaise. Matt sang for the entire meal ...

    "I'm going down, in a blaze of glory' 

    Seriously.. over and over and over again. It was annoying lol.

  • My vote is for Simone.  I am a little biased, though, since it's my middle name, after my grandmother, but we spell it Simonne.

  • My family is from Denmark, and I have a cousin names Per (pronounced "Pier"), which I think is a great name.  I think Simone is a beautiful name, and not one that I've heard very often.  I also love the name Kirsten, which again, is one of my cousins name.

  • I really like Simone!  I'm probably no help for boys names since I tend to prefer more "classic" but popular names (like William).
