Lykke is LYCK-e - the Y sound doesn't really exist in English, but it's like the vowel in French "rue" or a German ü.
Källa is quite new on the whole, there are just 33 in Sweden, and only one of them is older than 16 (she's an actress, and has a brother called Nanok, btw).

I don't know much French or German -- is it like the Finnish Y? If so, I think I know how it sounds!

Yes! It's always difficult to know what other languages you can refer too ...
