cool kingdom names

I'm looking for name ideas for the northern capital of my world which is similar to Scandinavia with a bit of a fantasy take
Try looking at a map of Scandinavia and getting a sense of how place names are constructed to invent your own or just modify slightly the name of a place whose name you like. People who know of the place you chose as a root may like your reference to a place they know.

My native language is Swedish, as I know there's at least one more member who has on the forums. Tell me/us what you want your name to mean or the feel of it and I/we can probably help.

Otherwise here are a few names with rough translation, just for kicks.

Kungsstad - King's city
Järnholm - Iron Isle
Högmur - High wall
Gyllentak - Golden roof
Lagstämma - Kind of "gathering for legal purpose"
Kungsböte - "Royal warning beacon"
Drottningeke - Queen's oak grove
Oxhamn - Bull harbor
 
cheers
