HelpWhat's your Swedish naming style?
This test was mentioned below: http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/namequiz.html ... My sister and I quickly decided that it didn't reflect our Swedish tastes very well, as few names have the same connotations or style here and in the US.
And so, we made our own test:

We'd appreciate if you'd try it out. :)
It's in Swedish, but here's a translation:
Questions (should be obvious):
Vilket pojknamn tycker du bäst om? = Which boys name do you like the best?
Vilket flicknamn tycker du bäst om? = Which girls name do you like the best?
Vilket unisexnamn tycker du bäst om? = Which unisex name do you like the best?
Results:
Klassisk och normal = classic and normal
You like well-established names, that your children won't be alone with on the school yard. The old returning names can be okay, but mostly you think they sound too stuffy. Maybe you like names like Alice, Matilda, Anton and Viktor?
Klassisk men ovanlig = classic but unusual
It's likely you got your favourites from your grandparents' names. To pass on family names is important! (But perhaps not grandma Agda's or great uncle Gotthard's names.) What about names like Märta, Sigrid, August and Henry?
Klassiskt excentrisk = classically eccentric
You have probably been looking in the most remote branches of your family tree for the names you like. You like unique names, but they can't be new inventions. You easily brush off the somewhat skeptical voices on your favourite names. Perhaps you'd like Alfhild, Eugenia, Isidor and Gottfrid?
Modern men normal = modern but normal
Your favourite names don't have to have been around since the dawn of time, but you still think they should be well established. If your son gets to be "Oscar J", it doesn't matter to you. Maybe you like names like Isabella, Ronja, Oliver and Vincent?
Modern och ovanlig = modern and unusual
You like more unusual names, but they can't be too strange and eccentric. The returning old names are not for you, you like newer names. Maybe you like names like Noomi, Celine, Julian and Neo?
Modernt excentrisk = modernly eccentric
Your child is an individual! It deserves a name almost no one has had before! More common names can be all right, but only if they're freshened up with an innovative spelling. You easily brush off the somewhat skeptical voices on your choices. Your taste is hard to define, since it can go so many directions, but maybe you like names like Vilja, Pixie, Tiger and Razmuz?
Passé - eller bara före din tid? = passé - or just before your time?
You like the names from your own or your parents' generation. Some would call you out of fashion, but you're just before your time - sooner or later your favourites will return. Maybe you like names like Yvonne, Birgitta, Bengt and Roger? And classic double-names of course!
