Well this will be fun! ;)
Do you want real Scandinavian origin or names that are used in Scandinavia? For instance Lukas and Oskar are top names currently in Sweden but they aren't really Swedish?

I really like Jensen, but most of all I like this site: http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Names (http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Names)

I am desperately still trying to "sell" Olafur to anyone who cares or is interested...This is sucha coolname because it is the Icelandic version of Olaf/Olav but it sounds like a name we are all familiar with - Oliver - so please Anna please bite, just indulge me ;) I really dothinkit sounds great with your set of Jett, Ripley, Stellan and Olafur...awesome!!!
I also like Finnish names like Pentti, Antti, Tuomo, Viljo, Paavali, Paavo, etc...you get the picture?

I'm no help here, though I do love Magnus!
I was actually more curious as to if you decided to legally change Stellan to be his fn, or if you are jsut calling him that now? Either way, I don't think you can go wrong ;)

Of course I have a Magnus :) We considered Soren as well since that is very Danish. Our second son will probably be Kasper (my Finnish g-grandfather's name) or Felix. Also like Thorsten and Henrik for boys, Ingrid, Signy, Solveig (sole-vay) for girls. Rasmus is my other (Norwegian) g-grandfather's name. Rasmus Olai actually. Also like Sven, Leif, Bjorn, Bergen.

I'm a big fan of Esko, Isko and Eero.
I studied with a Swedish Henrik and a Finnish Samuli.
Then there's Eliel and Alvar from the Finnish design world.

There's a Finnish family at preschool. The boy is Viljami. (VILL-uh-me basically.) Can't remember the father's name right now... Swedes... know two Swedish families and they both have an Axel! I asked and they said yes, it's popular there. One also has an Erik. I don't think I know any Norwegians and I am certainly not up on Scandinavian names in general.
