These are names from a Swedish children's magazine, Kamratposten (means something like "The Friend Paper"), that often writes about children in other countries than Sweden. Although it's for children, I still think it's fun to browse it, because I've always been interesting in how people live in other countries than my own. I even collect old copies of the magazine.
