I am working in Denmark as an engineer. I was sharing with my friend the working culture and other aspects of here. He admired that place and asked a few names of Vikings for his newborn kid.
I suggested Ailse (Sweet), Arne (eagle), Bjørn (bear), Erik (absolute ruler), Frode (wise and clever), Gorm (he who worships god), Halfdan (the half Danish), Lemond (Law-man), Magnus (Great), Sigrid (Victory), Tora (Thunder) and Vonn (Of hope). Among these, he liked Tora the most.
Popular Viking names
Being a history student I keep on learning about different cultures and civilizations. There I learnt about Vikings and their popular names. These were Åse (goddess), Kåre (with curly hair), Helga (sacred), Thurid (Thor and beautiful), Yrsa (wild or she bear) and Ulfhild (wolf or battle).

My friend wanted to keep something creative, with great meaning for the name of her baby. So, she chose to keep the Old Norse name for her baby girl. A few names she selected were Artina, Botilda, Dagnija, Freya, Gerta, Helga, Ronna and Svala. She selected the Helga name which means blessed or holy.
