Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

My first name that’s the most uncommon of all three. Yes, I’m a true Torunn. There are currently around 4000 women in Norway named Torunn.

The name is from Norse and it means something similar to ‘loved by Thor’; the major Norse mythology god of thunder. He is also the god of strenght, storms and protection. I have a close relative named ‘Tor/Thor’ and that’s part of why I chose it in particular. And I’m not afraid of thunderstorms or avoiding carrying a heavy backpack up some steep hills. Ten kilos, easily.

In comparison the third name at 5000 and as second name far many more, several thousands. And to mention last my name Ingvild I mention before at around 6400 women in year 2026.

Off-topic; I’m so happy we have sunlight again, the polar nights over for this winter season. I’m also very Norwegian in ethnicity estimates and it makes sense, especially Northern regions and Agder plus Rogaland counties in the Southern parts of Norway.

As I have sometimes said before I have an autism spectrum condition and also non-verbal learning disorder (NVLD) so to me that feels like it means something beyond what’s obvious outside.

I didn’t like my old name when I was a child so I decided last year to change names. It has been interesting how my family try really hard to remember my name and say it to each other in everyday conversations. I’m so thankful for this, that I actually could choose a different name when that felt good and would help me evolve further.

My official name day is 23 of February. I’m a child of the summer season. Not telling exactly the day I was born, but it’s in our summer season.

So that’s some more about my names, and about me overall. Thank you for visiting ❤

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Well, it does depend a lot on the amount I would win. But I would get the most important house renovation done and bank loans paid back. And I would give to my family because they need it just as much as anyone else, including me.

If you don’t know me yet I’m a Norwegian and my Norwenglish is good, that’s the only honest English I know to write.

And I would make certain that it wasn’t wasted. The house work is necessary and very expensive. I would get a real Kvænangen/Loppa gákti made that I could wear on 6th of February with great pride.

So I would also do many of the same things and I would do more things I don’t have true free time for in this phase of life. I want to travel a bit, especially in Finland and Scandinavian countries like my own Norway. I love family research and visiting old places where my ancestors called home.

What books do you want to read?

I got a book as a Christmas present this Christmas Eve and I’m really looking forward to reading it. It’s about Sámi people in Finnmark from many centuries ago, they have translated it from original form in Danish. I love reading about history especially related to my ancestors environment and ethnic background.

Otherwise I enjoy to read different kinds of books like for example astrology and mental health writing from first hand experiences written for others to read. There is something special to every book, and it’s there we get diversity of impressions.

Thanks for reading my blog ❤

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

Yes, it’s truly special place in our municipalities, 1149 meters tall. I love mountains and it’s our tallest here in this part, the largest town here. It has Northern Lights history as a point science used to study nature and predict the weather.

I’m going there some day in my life, it’s exercise definitively and walking through the profoundly important history as well. It was about testing if the Northern Lights could help predict weather. I believe this was in early 1900s Norway. And did I say before I love mountains?

Thanks for reading my blogs ❤ ❤

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

My name is Ingvild and I live in far-Northern region of Norway. I kind of chose my three Norse origin names last year in May month. My mother had intended to name me ‘Ingvild’ before I was born but they gave me different name including Johanne and the other name I always hated as a kid. I was bullied a hell lot in part of my severe Asperger condition and NVLD, I devoloped atypical anorexia nervosa at age 10.

Here is something I wrote about

Monster, how should I feel

Caffeine kick, sweet strawberry
Sámi sunshine story,
at Midnight we toast
to the glory

Black Hole Sun
Iced tea, iced coffee; lactose-free
Snow falling, deep snow threading in
I do know who I really am, right?Fathers day tomorrow, not random
It made perfect sense,
Quite quiet quetiapine question
Why so sad, Ingvild?
Huh?! No idea, I’m so happy really!
Yeah, it didn’t click like that
But still I hear
Lyrics like;
‘Let the scavengers loose, beholding the might’
‘Determined and strong, in it’s pride and glory’
Loved it all, and still do

So I hope it was okay reading my rambling thoughts tonight. Stilnoct does it’s things in powerful ways.

I wish you well and genuine happiness! ❤ ❤
