We live in the US and also wanted a name that works in both languages so we've chosen Emmy for our little girl (coming this April :-)

I read in the paper recently that "Selma" was THE up and coming name in Oslo. :-)

Kate is NOT pronounced KEIT in American English! That is like how Norwegians call bacon "BEIKEN" when they are trying to be so Americanized- it just sounds stupid.

Kate is pronounced to rhyme with gate, straight, plate, etc.

HI,

 

We have a girl who is called Ella Maria. The alternative was Sarah or Alexandra.

 

Good luck:-))

our girls are called Charlotte and Christina. Not very original maybe, but they work very vell in both languages. Besides from them I like Emma, Johannah or just Hannah. There are lots of opportunities. You just have to find them! Good luck!
