Scandinavian Names--help me complete my sibset.

I have strong Scandinavian heritage, and am expecting our second LO. We have a little boy, Oskar Henri (Finnish spelling of both names). Help me think of a girl name to compliment our style. Top runners (but none seem like "the one") are Johanna, Heidi, and Evelina. Thank you very much in advance!

    Some ideas:

    Maja
    Elin
    Klara
    Tilda
    Freja
    Anneka
    Elga
    Ingrid
    Runa


    I adore Heidi and Evelina is nice too. Johanna is NMS, but there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not my favorite.

    I like both Ingrid and Astrid. As for the name Elga(not really much used in Scandinavia and I'm Norwegian living in Norway and had to google the name) I would rather go with Helga - the name that Elga supposedly comes from.

    March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old. June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7 July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29 Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep 5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog. Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age. On to IVF! IVF ER 12.6: 37 mature eggs, 27 fertilized, froze all to avoid overstimulation; FET 1.22 (2 Grade 1)=BFN; FET 2.22 (3 Grade 2)=BFP! Beta 10dp3dt=291; 12dp3dt=644; HB 3.26!! 174 bpm: Vanishing twin almost completely absorbed 10wks Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    I like Ingrid a lot. And Evelina best from your choices.

    I also liked Anneka. It would go well with Oskar.

    Astrid is my favorite Scandinavian name, and would totally try to convince my husband to use it if we didn't have one picked out already.
