I know a family with a son called Nilo; the mother is Finnish. He has younger twin sisters called Salme and Kit.
I think Nemi, Noomi, Minelle and Nilo are too similar, but I understand it wasn't meant to be that way! I like Noomi.
I think Holger is super ugly.
I like Cordelia and Cornelia, but Cardelia makes me think of cardiology.
Maximus is pompous.
Legolas is silly.
I like Signe and I love Inez.
Ryan on a girl is horrible, especially on a Swedish girl. A rya is a kind of rug in Scandinavia, so her name looks like "the rug" to me.
Tristan Arvid and Ella Linnea would be very nice. Alvvin looks misspelled and is too close to Arvid. And Anneline Ella Linnea sounds like the same names twice.
I don't like Bill or Penny either.

Oh, phew, it's a relief to see a set of parents didn't intentionally decide to have daughters named Nemi and Noomi.

I have such mixed feelings over Legolas. The LotR nerd is strong in me so part of me is thrilled to see someone use the name, but... Oof. That's a name alright.

---

Holger is really ugly, sorry.

---

I like all the names individually of Anneline Ella Linnea but I don't think they combo well. And I love Tristan and Arvid's alright, but why does Alvvin need two V's?

---

Maximus is bold. I like it.

---

I like Signe.

Really like Ryan on a girl! It has strength and personality.

---

Signe is also really interesting. I like it.

---

Cardelia — did they mean to go with Cordelia? The Car- part seems off-putting to me.

Funny that their daughters have such similar names, I probably wouldn't have gone with a 3rd N name although Nilo does sound pretty different.

I like:
Someone I know just had a son, named Nilo. He joins older sisters Nemi, Noomi and Minelle. Nemi is the dad's daughter from a previous relationship, and Noomi is the mom's daughter from earlier relationship.
I'm also part of a FB group for us due in December, some have already announced the names of their baby, siblings names when known:

---

Noel
Joel (Alva)
Ottilia
Jack (Adrian)
Theo
Casper

---

Signe x2
Inez

---

And from a couple of people who don't know the gender yet:
Frank (boy)
Linnea
Albin

I'm surprised Legolas got past naming laws.
