[Opinions] Re: Swedish BAs
in reply to a message by Malin
I love seeing Swedish BAs, thanks for posting!
Let's see, I like
(Amelia)
(Tilla)
Angus
(Alice)
Arvid
Aster Senju - Aster is constantly dancing on this fine line between GPs and usable names for me, nonetheless I love her. Tell me more about Senju, I have never seen this name before ;-)
Axel
Benjamin (Samuel)
Casper x4 (William) (Elliot) (Saga) - how popular is Casper / Caspar in Sweden at the moment?
Ebbe
Edvin (Ellen, Elias)
Emil x4 (Agnes) (Hugo, Ida)
Erik
(Matilde)
Gustav x2
Hampus - I love it, I wish it was usable here
Henning (Klara) - ha! They are both on my list and just the other day I thought they'd make a lovely sibset.
Hugo x4
Isac (Nellie, Simon) - I prefer the spelling Isaak, though
Jacob - I prefer Jakob
John William Mattius
Olai (Iris, Edin) - love both Olai and Iris. Edin is new to me. Tell me more, please :-)
Julius (Sofie, Ida)
Karl Love
Lewis Alexander
Lukas
Malte
Nils
Oliver x2 (Caspar) (Ebba, Elias)
(Viktor)
Truls (Alice)
Walter (Wilton)
Viggo (Nellie)
Alice x4 (Erik, Joakim)
Alma
Alwa Adelé - I'm not sure about the accent mark on Adelé. How common is this spelling in Sweden?
Asta Sigrid - usually I'm not a fan of Sigrid, but I rather like it paired with Asta.
Clara
Ebba
Elin
Ellen x3
Elsa x3
Ester x2 (Lucas)
Freja
Hedda
(Walter, Ester)
(Axel, Eric)
Lova x2 (Agnes)
(Nelly)
Molly
Märta (Elsa) - they are both on my list, and I think they really sound good together
Nellie x4 (Rasmus)
Nina (Molly)
Thea x2
Vera
(Therese)
Ängla Ingrid - usually Ängla isn't my cup of tea, but I think the combo has a rather nice ring to it
Gustav & Erik
Malte & Hjalmar
Valentin
Melvin & Thea - very cute

Judging from the father's name, Senju is probably Japanese. Edin seems to be Albanian, but that seems a bit odd with his siblings?
Casper was 45th on the top list last year.
Adelé is just people not knowing how accent marks work again, I guess. (I went to school with a Theresé ...)

Edin is a common Bosnian Muslim name if it help any. Do you know their last name or the parents' names?

Thanks!
Um, sorry if I'm leading this thread totally off-topic, but how (un)common is Aster in Sweden?
I really like it, but I've never seen it used in real life here in Germany (I've only ever come across it in old church books).
Yeah, misplaced accent marks occur here, too.
But how about the spellings Therése and Helén? I've read somewhere that these two are official Swedish spellings. Is that true?

Aster is rare, but not quite unheard of - as a girls name at least, but this one was a boy, which I found a bit odd ...
Therése and Helén are pretty common, but in those cases it isn't misplaced, as those e's are long and stressed.

Ah, thanks!
I'm especially glad to hear that the spelling Helén really exists. At the moment, it's my favourite pronunciation of this name, but if I ever want to use it, I'll have to prove that this spelling (and thus the pronunciation) really exist somewhere in the world.
I'm also happy to hear about Aster (as a girls' name). Maybe I should finally put her on my long list...
Sorry if my questions seemed odd and thanks for your answers! :-)
