Choosing a name for your baby can be fun, exciting... and really, really tricky.
If you are one of the lucky few who picked their favourite name soon after they found out they were pregnant, then we're more than a little bit jealous.
It really isn't unusual to feel completely overwhelmed when trying to pick the perfect name for your baby. With thousands upon thousands of names to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. There are more recorded names for girls than there are for boys, and whilst we love the fact that there are so many options, the number of girl name choice can make it even harder to decide on a shortlist.
To make things easier, think about the types of name you like. Maybe you like traditional girls names, or maybe you prefer more modern girl names. Maybe you like pretty baby girl names, and maybe you like strong girls names. Maybe you like girls names that begin with a certain letter. Maybe you like unusual girl names.
Maybe you like girls names that represent a certain heritage, culture or place. Maybe you want to give your baby girl a unique name, and maybe you want that name to represent Norwegian origins or a love of Norway. If this is the case, then keep reading. In fact, even if it hasn't previously crossed your mind to look at Norwegian names for girls, read on. You might just fall in love with one of the Norwegian girls names detailed below.
