IKEA Releases Digital Name Directory
A baby name from the furniture store? It sounds like a joke, but it's genuine inspiration: IKEA showcases in a digital name directory the Scandinavian first names behind many product names. From short and clear to soft and Nordic – expectant parents can find surprisingly beautiful ideas for their child here.
Creative Naming at IKEA
The creative names of IKEA furniture are well-known by now. There is now a digital list that compiles all these names – perfect for expectant parents searching for unique first names. This initiative is a response to the rising birth rate in Scandinavia.
A Treasure Trove of Names
Since 1948, around 800 IKEA products have been given extraordinary names, often named after Swedish cities, lakes, or geographical features. However, there are also some personal names that we don't want to withhold from you.
