We have used Emily and Kian.

Others: Lucas, Benjamin, Jonathan, Eric, Matt

Maria, Anna, Lisa, Karla, Ingrid.

 

 

I don't think it's important that the names are pronounced exactly the same way in English and Norwegian. Then it will be extremely hard to find a suitable name. Even "Emily" is not pronounced the same way, but it is easy to pronounce in Norwegian. We have avoided the "th"-sound, though, because it's difficult for Norwegians.

Angelica can be used on both Norwegian and English.

I don't know if you read norwegian, so here's some translation:

 

kjønn=sex

begge=both

gutt= gutt

jente =girl

starter med =starts with

slutter med = ends with

brukes i = used in

 

navneguiden is a good alternativ too;)
