How about your family names
As far as my old family Christian names, they’re foreign and I don’t know if they’re still in use in Norway. Some of them are:
Olave
Ingeborg
Synneve
Ole
Iver
But as for other older names, like those that I see in old novels, here are a few:
Cornelius
Sylvester
Ishmael
Jabez
Augusta
Had a great aunt (who died as an infant in the 1919 flu) who was named Cathron. Had a great-great-great grandfather named Rashar. (All of Scotch-Irish descent, and in the US for multiple generations at the time.) I’ve never personally ran across anyone with either of those names.
In my family tree, there are a couple of German women with the first name of Kunigunde (or Cunigunde). I’d never heard that name before in my life, and I daresay it isn’t common in Germany these days, either. Its etymology is kind of badass, though – “kuni” means “family” and “gund” means “war”.
Others in my family:
Apollonia (f)
Barthel (m)
Barthold (m)
Wilhelmine (f)
Enis (f)
Gertrudis (f)
Kilian (m) – unusual because he was German, born in 1675, and I have only heard that name used in Ireland
Magdalena (f)
Onofrio (m)
Providenza (f)
Saverio (m)
Theobald (m)
Tieleman (m) – his full name was Tieleman Tielemans
Wolff (m)
Yost (m)
Increase. Saw it on a gravestone.
My grandmother was named “Gisella.” She hated the name and changed it to Gertrude.

I had a 5 x great ancestress named Mehitabel, living in Massachusetts.
More closely related were 2 x great grandpa Silas, and his dad, Osmore.
Also 2 x great grandma Henrietta, known as Rettie
Great grandpa was a Herbert.
Great grand ma was Jacomina.
Grandma was Josephine.
Mom was Lois.
I won’t bother with the names from the 17th century or earlier; those were just weird.
Ah, good old Increase Mather. What about his son, Cotton?
My great-grandmother was Canzada. She had a sister named Barzillah. And another sister named … Mary.
I had an ancestor whose middle name was Orlena.
I have a Hedwig several generations back, which greatly excited my nieces when they heard about it.
I wish Cotton was a monkey. 
We had a slew of Frederickas in the 19th century. Helped to balance out the Fredericks.
You don’t see Aloysius much any more; Adalbert, either.
Jasper and Sterling are increasingly popular names, for both boys and girls.
Among my many great-aunts: Vera, Genevieve, Rowena, Letha, Leda, Roma, Gladys, Vivian, Lila, Anthea, Letitia, Lavinia, Lydia.
Among my great-uncles: Delmer, Elberta (yeah, sounds like a girl - he was named after some peaches), Silas, Jeroam.
On my husband’s side, Zadok.
On my side, Flora and Ora. (Siblings. Ora was a boy.) Also, Desire, who was a girl.
My daughter dated a boy named Ora a while back. The only one I ever met. He went by Orrie. He’d be about 30 now.
Funny how some names come back. I work part time in elementary school and have recently encountered kids named Vivian, Lila, and Genevieve. I also knew a Genevieve who’d be in her twenties now, and had a Lydia in my most recent college seminar. And a colleague named her baby Silas last spring.
Be interesting to see if Gladys and Elberta make a comeback.
I had a great uncle named Orville…he was not the first in the family to hear that name, but it’s another name I don’t expect to see returning any time soon.
Oh, my grandfather had a sister named Arizona. They called her Zoney.
Among my English-speaking ancestors and kin are
Males: Greenleaf, Peregrine, Meserve, Gilman, Ephraim, Ichabod, and Ebenezer.
Females: Tamzen, Jerusha, Araminta, Sophronia, Hepzibah, and Zipporah
Manoah, Isom, Joost, Macykin, Wallerand.
