Baby name needed: Boy or girl name for Linden & Everett’s sibling

Britta her husband Morgan live in Sweden. They’re expecting their third baby in a couple of months and would like some help choosing a name.

They already have two sons, Linden and Everett, so they’d like the baby’s first name to be similar in style to these. Britta also mentions:

We definitely want a more English/American first name while the middle name should be more Scandinavian. The name should also be pronounced similarly both in Swedish and in English.

The baby’s surname will sound like Bergstrand.

So far, for boy names, they’re considering Amos. Here are some other names I thought they might like:

Carl/Karl
Casper/Kasper
Conrad/Konrad
Felix
Frank
Gabriel
Glenn
Grant
Grover
Harris
Henry
Herman
Linus
Nelson
Nolan
Norris
Oliver
Oscar/Oskar
Otis
Philip
Reuben/Ruben
Roland
Sidney
Simon
Tobias
Victor/Viktor
Vincent

For girl names, Morgan likes Rowyn and Rowena. Britta doesn’t care for names that end with a vowel-sound, though. So how about:

Agnes
Alice
Beatrice
Charlotte
Clara/Klara
Edith
Florence/Flora
Frida
Greta
Harriet
Henrietta
Josephine
Madeleine
Marion
Nora
Pauline
Petra
Ramona
Rosa
Roselle
Sabine
Selma
Susanne
Sylvia
Therese
Ursula
Viola

(It was hard to avoid vowel endings altogether, but I did try!)

As for middles: Linden’s middle name is Anders, and Everett’s middle name is André, so my first instinct was to suggest they continue the pattern with something like Andrea or Andreas.

Other than that, I have a hard time coming up with middles when there’s no first name in place. I personally like Astrid, Gustav, Inger, Johan, Olga, Sören…but how well these work will depend a lot upon the sound/rhythm of the first name.

Do you like any of the above names with Linden and Everett? What others would you suggest to Britta and her husband?

Update – The baby is here! Scroll down to see what name Britta and Morgan chose.

  1. How about Celeste, Eloise or Gabrielle for girls

    and Selwyn, Emlyn (Welsh origin) or Sebastian for a boy

  2. Just heard from Britta! She and her husband welcomed a baby girl a couple of weeks ago. The baby’s name is Amalia Leigh.

    Congratulations!
