Baby name inspiration can come from anywhere—and the IKEA catalog is not off limits. To prove this point, IKEA Norway recently published a baby name inspiration guide with over 800 monikers that are inspired by the brand’s numerous furniture offerings.

“Finding the name of the child can be both difficult and fun,” the website (translated from Norwegian) reads. “We at IKEA have given names to products for more than 70 years. So, if you are completely stuck, or just want some inspiration, here you will find over 800 boys’ names and girls’ names. Everything from popular Ivar to more rare names like Moalie.”

With Scandinavian names like Søren and Freya becoming increasingly popular in the U.S., the baby names culled by this mega, Swedish-born brand might just be worth looking at and adding to you list. Plus, for interiors fans, many of the names come with fun visuals of the furnishings they correspond to—from mid century IKEA designs up to the 2020s.

Take a look at some of our favorite IKEA baby names in the list below, and find the rest of the expansive list here.
