Albert (Arthur) - great sibset! They go together well. (Queen Victoria had two sons named Albert and Arthur.)
Alexander x2 - love it, though it is a bit common. I have a lot of Alexanders in my family.
Alfred (Agnes, Stina) - I like Alfred and Agnes. Don't like Stina, though.
Anton (Gustav) - both names are awesome!
August (Signe) - love both names
Dexter (My, Meya) - Dexter will always remind me of Dexter's Laboratory. And My and Meya for sisters? Aren't they a little too close?
Edvin (Linus, Ella) - I like Edwin.
Elis - prefer Elias
Elliot - love it!
Elwin - prefer Edwin
Frank (Seth) - love both of them. They go together pretty well.
Hector - love it!
Hugo x2 - like it, but it still reminds me of Hugo Chavez
Isak - nice
Jonathan Ceasar - This combo doesn't work well. Plus Ceasar is misspelled. I prefer Cesare - one of my Italian great-grandfathers had that name.
Kliff (Lilly, Betty) - Cliff is an old guy name over here. Betty is old-fashioned too.

Ah, so that's why I thought Albert and Arthur sounded so very royal. I agree that it's great. :)
Melvin is a "cool" (but not very classy) name here, along with names like Kevin, Liam and Milton. (As a broad rule, English names are classy if they were borrowed more than a century ago - Alice, Lilly, John, Henry - but more or less trashy if they were borrowed more recently - Hailey, Nicole, Jimmy, Melvin ...)
Sixten - click it! ;) Sixteen in Swedish is sexton.
Even though Moa is a common name here, I always think of that extinct bird too! Plus it rhymes with the common Swedish word for toilet ... I don't like it very much. ;)
Alve should be a boy.

Some comments:
Arthur - how unusual. Can't say I like it, but still nice simply because you don't see it very often in Sweden. But I prefer it pronounced in English. The Swedish pr. is more like "utter" and it sounds bad!
Alexander - yaaaaawwwwwwnnn
Signe - I like it, although it's becoming a bit too popular
Dexter - ick. Can't stand this. Makes me think of murderers and of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward".
Elliot - yaaaawwwwnnn
Seth - nice!
Hector - all I can think of is that it rhymes with rektor (principal; headmaster)
Hugo - love it. A pity it's so popular
Ceasar - first of all, it's misspelled. Second, it's a dogs' name
Kliff - YUCK! Cliff is so ugly and it's even worse spelled with a K!
Liam - trashy
Loke - since Loke was a rather evil god, I don't like this
Mattis - I like it. Even for girls!
Melvin - sounds kind of meeky, like välling (gruel)
Milian - how come this has become so popular lately? It sounds cut off
Noak - now this is rare! Can't say I like it, though
Olle - cute!
Sixten - also cute!
Teodor - cute!
Viggo - I've never liked this
Bella - blah. Probably Twilight fans
Cassandra - trashy
Gabriel - my brother's name, so of course I like it
Lovisa - cute
Leija - trashy
Lova - I like it, but it's a bit too common
Miné - sweet!
Stella - yaaaawwwnnn
Love & Lykke (Lucas, Livia) - I like all the names, except for Lucas, but I think giving all the children names starting with the same letter is silly

I don't pronounce Arthur like "utter" at all. There's one woman on forvo.com that pronounces Artur in Swedish like "utter" (sounds like Atu too me) and it sounds... well, ridiculous.

I prefer the alternative Swedish pronunciation, AAR-tur. That's what they say where I first encountered it, in Disney's The Sword in the Stone, so that's how I've always said it.
Milian is probably used by people who think five-syllable Maximilian is way too long.
Hrm, I'm part of such a sibset where all children's names start with the same letter ... ;)
