in reply to a message by Malin
Agnes x2 (Hampus) (William, Elsa) - Hampus? That is completely new to me. Interesting.
Alissa (Noel, Felice, Milan) - Felice and Noel in the same sibset? Weird.
Alma - I like this one
Astrid - I just really really find Astrid yucky. Like gives me weird shivers.
Cornelia (Jennifer, Ida, Jasper) - What an eclectic sibset
Diana (Laura) - I know sisters named Laura and Diana. They have a brother Nathan.
Ella Emilia - well that's not a very good combo
Ellinor (Elise Victoria) - Really? Elinor and Elise? Thumbs down.
Elvira x2 (Oliver) - Also, very similar for siblings.
Evangeline (Patricia, Raphael, Felicia, Benjamin) - cool set!
Flaurenta (Flondra) - Wow, sound like story characters. Are these common names in Sweden?

Haha, I don't think Jennifer, Ida, Jasper and Cornelia sounds eclectic at all. (Though Jesper/Casper would have fit better than Jasper, it's not very common here.) I know that at least Jennifer and Ida don't belong to the same era of names in the US, but they definitely do here. :)I've never heard Flaurenta and Flondra before. They have an Albanian surname so I guess they're Albanian names.The y in Gry is a vowel sound that simply doesn't exist in English, it's always very hard to explain. Here's Gry pronounced in Norwegian: http://www.forvo.com/search/gry/no/ (There's a Swedish pronuncation there as well but he's over-articulating)Leon & Noel has to be the most common twin set in Sweden right now. Two really popular names that happen to be each other backwards? People just can't resist.
