As I mention on my other blog I don’t have a middle name, but I have three first names and I use all of them in various occations.
My names are Torunn, Ingvild and Johanne and I’m not revealing my full name or the exact order of the first names. The first two are Norse origin and the third from Hebrew. I especially like the meaning behind my name Ingvild; ‘ancestors struggle’ which is very true of my background and being interested in genealogy research.
I used to feel not so good about having an unusual name for my generation but now I see the true value to it, it’s actually unique and part of who I am at the core.
And about my last name I can tell you it comes from a Northern Norwegian farm our ancestors lived in during the 1800s.
