Noss (Freyja's daughter--supposed to be an incomparably sweet, gentle little girl).   Come to think of it, "Freyja" isn't bad, either.

Sunniva--I believe she was an early Saint. I can't recall if she was Norwegian and ended up in Ireland or Irish and ended up in Norway, or if I'm completely wrong all around, but it's a neat name.

Kjarstin (SHARE-stin)--needs no explanation, but it's my sister-in-law-to-be's name, and it's just slightly unusual without being outlandish.

I'm not much help. In the unlikely event that I ever have kids, I've decided they get one normal name and one weird name, so they don't have to be completely conformist but don't get stuck explaining themselves all the time. My given name is Alethea Sojourner (for Sojourner Truth, the abolitionist/feminist) and I'm so tired of people mispronouncing and misinterpreting it that I'm about ready to change it to "Jane" and live the rest of my life in peace.
