Eenuh Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Very helpful guys! anyone knowledgeable on French names? If you need first names, I already posted them in a previous post. =P If you want family names, I could give you quite a few from Belgium (that are French, since we also speak French here). Lambert, Marchal, Lefèvre, Leroy, Martin, Legrand, Bertrand, Massart, Moreau, Lejeune, Servais, Legrand, Renard... And many many more. X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Very helpful guys! anyone knowledgeable on French names? Christian, Raymond, Zachery, Antoine, Yves. I will be suprised/impressed if you know the reference. Otherwise, Gervais is always good. Or Gaspard and Xavier, good musical names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I can mention a bunch of common Danish and generally Scandinavian first names. Some of them obviously have their roots in other languages, but they are none the less very common. Varieties in spelling exist, but I've chosen the most Danish variants. Male names: Daniel, Søren, Peter, Lars, Jens, Frederik, Kristian, Anders, Mads, Rasmus, Jesper, Morten, Martin, Erik, Palle, Helge, Poul, Simon. These aren't common in Norway. Peter would be Petter, Frederik would be Fredrik and Erik would be Eirik. Common names in Norway would be Arild, Geir, Rolf, Rune, Ove, Andreas Female names: Anne, Katrine, Karen, Julie, Lykke, Sofie, Susanne, Johanne, Line, Josefine, Ingrid, Mette, Maja, Rebekka, Nina, Ditte, Lærke, Sine. Not common in Norway . Other common names in Norway would be Silje, Marianne, Kristine, Stine, Sandra, Heidi, Hanne As he mentioned -sen is used in Danish for surnames, -son is used in Swedish, but there's nothing in Norwegian. So here's some famous people; Stoltenberg, Bjørndalen, Strømøy, Rybak, Nærum, Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtle Squad Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If you want northern, Lars, Magnus, Thor (Þór), Peter are a couple I can think of. There are really people called Thor? I guess it's the same as being Jesus or Muhammed....Kinda.... I assume no-one's called Odin?:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
