They seem fairly typical/classic? I'd be slightly surprised to meet 9 year olds named Agnes, Elvira, Carl in the US, but they don't surprise me for Swedish kids. (I'd suspect Carl was short for Carlos here; otherwise, it sounds old-fashioned German or Scandinavian. When I see Agnes, outside of a historical context, it's basically always a Scandinavian, like Agnes Obel. There is a European poster here with a child named Elvira.)My favorites are Daniel and Linnea; my least favorite is August. I like Elise but pronounced the English way, and I like Clara pronounced the German way but not really the English way. I don't have strong feelings about any.
