Which Norwegian female-name?
My husband is from Norway and he wants our little girl to have one of these names. But I can't decide which. (The first two have cultural meanings and deep Norse-historical value) and Venke I just liked it :)
Just say which is your favorite, to help me decide a little.
Sæbjørg
Bjørg
Venke

Sæbjørg is not a name I have ever encountered before, and it looks a bit strange. Both Bjørg and Venke are more common in Norway, and I think they are fine names.
I would worry a bit about the letter "ø" in Bjørg (if you are located outside of Scandinavia), and would probably go for Venke.

I like Bjørg. My aunt's name is Wenche. I really like Maija (my mum's name). My name is Stine, which is really common, and I hate it.
Other old norwegian names are:
Alma
Alvhild
Astrid
Embla (the first woman on earth according to the norse mythology. The first man was Ask)
Elida (I want that name sooo bad! I think I'm gonna add it as my middle name..)
Ellisiv
Frøya (the norse lovegodess)
Frøydis
Gerd
Ingebjørg
Ingeborg
Ingrid
Live/Liva
Solbjørg
Tora
