Fritiof
Holmfrid
Brynolf Görel

FrideborgOther comments:
Vilgot - a friend's pet pig, simply not human to me anymore...
Bror - "brother" is such a silly name... Syster is too, but it's not as common.
Lage & Tage - My dad knew brothers with these names :P
Reidun - is feminine!
Lillemor - "little mother" is a very weird name too. :P

I have a soft spot for Torleif and Axelina. Axelina in particular is a kick-ass name. :)

I've always loved Mattis since I read "Ronia the Robber's Daughter" as a child. I'm not a fan of any of the others, but Lillemor sounds kind of cool. So very Swedish.

To be honest I don't like any of them. I do love several Swedish names, however. Especially Ronja and Elsa.
