In Swedish the d in Ingrid is pronounced.
I can't give a satisfying explanation to how Hugo is pronounced, it's something like Hoo-go. Or maybe the sentence 'Here you go' said fast. Does that make any kind of sense? :)
Melker is Melchior and Edvin is Edwin.

Well, "Here you go" sounds like "Heriogo" to me when I say it fast. Lol. But I can definitely understand HOO-go; a blend of Spanish OO-go and English HYOO-go (as listed in Hugo's BtN entry), more or less?
I realise it can be hard sometimes to write out pronunciations.
Edvin was easy to figure out, but I'm a little disturbed that I'm such a namenerd that I realised Melker was probably Melchior. O_o
