It's an alright name I guess, but very dated. But I'm Swedish, nobody else would probably know that. I do have a friend named Svea though, she's 20 and at first I had quite a shock when I found out her name. Svea is a name I don't expect anyone under 70 years old to have.

I don't think it's too out there and I guess it could work in another country. I would probably laugh if I heard a american prn Svea though, it isn't exactly as easy to prn as Astrid for example.

I like it. It's very sweet sounding, to me. But it definitely has an edge to it. I don't think it'd be hard to pull off not being Swedish. It's easy enough to spell and pronounce that I just can't see it being a serious issue. It's forgein without being too forgein, imo.

I'm not usually big on female Scandinavian names, but this one has a certain charm and it would be relatively easy for those outside of Scandi to say and spell. Could grow on me.

I think this is great!

Love!!

It's definitely not too out there - I LOVE it, and I don't feel this way about very many girl names! It might be hard to pull off if you're not Swedish, but it definitely is gorgeous. There's something really cool about Sv- names, for some reason.
