It's so much fun to see what people in other countries are doing. Thanks for posting these. My favorites are Milla, Thea, and Sigird for the girls and August, Oskar, Noah (my son's name), and Linus for the boys. Linus is one of my all-time favorite names, and will probably be the name of my second child if it's a boy.
I was surprised to see so many names like Jimmy, Molly, and Melissa on these lists. Are they very popular in Sweden? I thought Sweden's laws restricted the use of foreign names, but maybe the laws aren't as strict as I thought.
Very interesting, though I confess I probably can't pronouce them all correctly. I would like the name Linus if it wasn't a "Peanuts" cartoon character.
Milla sister Tove -Milla is really nice. Tove is nms, but I think that 'Tovie' could grow on me.
Jimmy, sister Sarah , brother Mattias-Jimmy is cute, but I prefer it as a nn for James. Sarah & Mattias are lovely.
Engla brother Isaac-I'm not familuar w/this, but it's not bad. I like Isaac.
Rasmus, sister Evelina-I don't know about that one. Evelina is sort of interesting; good nn possibilities.
Melvin-That's sort of too geeky!
Arvid, brother Jakob-That's nms, although I did go to highschool w/a really cool Arvin. Jakob is nice, & I know that the 'k' isn't kr8tyv there.
Adam, sister Frida -I like Adam, & Frida is alright.
Alma-That's kind of nice.
Lucas sister Melissa-I love Lucas, but Melissa is nms.
Farijana-That's a bit much, but I love the 'ana' part.
Anton-That's alright.
Jamie-Cute.
Molly, Sister Julia and Emma-Sweet sister set.
Adam , brother Filip-I like Adam again, & it's very nice w/big brother Filip. I suppose that the 'ph' thing doesn't make sense in Sweeden.
Ida, sister Linn-Hm, that's sort of a super old lady name over here; a friend of mine loves it though. I suppose it works w/Linn.
Signe Lovisa-That's nms.
Linnea-Oh, so pretty!
Leo , brother Hugo-Those are darling.
Knut ( pronounced K-noot) , sister Alma brother Sixten.-That's nms, but I like Alma again. Sixten is odd.
Oskar-Adorable.
Mattis ( both parents names starts on M)-That's nice.
Leo-That's still good.
Saga sister Alva-That's nms, but I like the sister pair anyway.
Oliver-Excellent.
Tyra, brother Jakob-That's nms, but I think it's because Tyra Banks really bugs me. I like Jakob again. I can see that it's just as popular there as Jacob is in the U.S.
Emma brother Daniel-Those are nice.
Alfred, sister Clara-That's sort of cute; I love Alfie! Clara is beautiful.
Alma-Wow, that one is popular there!
Markus-That's dashing.
Isak sister Cornelia-I prefer Isak, but it's still good. Cornelia is alright; I like Cora & Lia.
Samuel, brother Aron.-Samuel is fine. Is Aron said like it is in Hebrew; Aye-roan?
Noah-That's not bad.
Ludvig, sister Josefine and Johanna-Ludvig is nms, but I love Josefine & Johanna. They are a tad close for sisters, but beautiful names.
Filip brother to Anton-Those are good together.
Matteus-I see that this one is popular w/various spellings.

Jimmy was popular in the 60 and in the 80.ties, so see a Jimmy this young is rare.

Tyra isn't pronounced the way you do, we have special y sound that is hard to write, it is short Y sound like in Stygian and Styx.
Ida will always beloved here since Astrid Lindgren wrote the children books about Emil and his little sister Ida.
