Then the source we use for this is not "some other person" x) It is kinda a specialist in this kind of translation. And he said, that the first two letters are "Da". So yeah, on this one, I'm gonna trust him. Are you kidding me? It's some random person online who likes to look at runes. I was able to match all the other names, just like he did. You literally just match the shapes to the ones shown on the Wikipedia page. Anyone can do it. And clearly, he could not see the last name well, as he had two totally different possiblities, neither of which are any kind of name, much less one that is from Norway's royalty. That's easy to figure some names when we already know them... Just saying ;) But since now you're the self-proclaimed expert in Futhark... I asked Jane, you don't mind? :)

Yeah, if Jane could help that would be great, maybe she could get us the really tiny parents names of the parents of Desiree, Magnus, Astrid, and Olaf as well. I noticed they are there in the book, but in all the shots are much too tiny to make out.
