What's a common Norwegian name?

@DDonde If we look away from the ones that are just variations of general world-common names (Kristoffer/Christopher, Markus/Marcus, Jonas, etc. other biblical names)
Arne, Grim, Espen, Torgeir/Thorgeir, Torgrim/Thorgrim, Sigurd, Anders, and Balder are names I see pretty often
Svein is an actual name used in Norway, so they could also use that one 🤔

@NorthernRoses I guess it's just that Sven is a recognizably Scandinavian name to Americans. If you asked us what country those names are from, I'm not sure many of us would guess Norway correctly (with the exception of maybe Sigurd and the names with "thor" in them).
