It's spelled Swedish, just so you know.

And Emma, Kaitlyn, and Catherine are not "Irish" names.

Emma is Germanic in origin, Catherine is Greek, and Kaitlyn is derived from Caitlín, which is an Irish pet form of Caitríona.

Cailíní na h-Éirinn (Girls of Ireland):

Buachaillí na h-Éirinn (Boys of Ireland):

and these are just a few.
