I like:
Axel Hadar – I’m not so fond of the Orm part, but I think this part sounds fantastic.
Miranda
Margot
Elora
Alizza
Thalia
Moa
These are interesting:
Källa I have a friend from Sweden named Kjell and it’s pronounced the same way but without the uh at the end. Are the names related?
Snöfrid – how is this pronounced? It’s got a lovely meaning.

I don't think Källa and Kjell are related. Kjell is a common Swedish name. Källa is extremely uncommon, but there is an actress called Källa Bie (I think her parents were a bit "hippiesque", because her brothers are called Nanok and Loa) which I guess have inspired some parents.
Snöfrid is pronounced something like SNEW-freed (the Ö sounds more like eu in the French word "adieu").

Meh, I was planning to post some of these. ;)
Some comments
Källa - like this a lot
Saga - love, not Lavibelle though
(Miranda) - love
Tiili - oh, Isfolket name!
Orm Axel Hadar - Orm is cool, but I hope he'll go by Axel or Hadar
Frost - cool (no pun intended) but very surnamey
Snöfrid - absolutely love, could use for a daughter any day :)
Katla - well I wouldn't name my kid that, but each to their own ...
Cleo - like
Maximus Milian - was Maximilian too common for them?
Goliat - I just discovered I have a young relative named Goliat ...
Thalia - like
Moa Månstråle - bit of a Noa Månfare rip-off ... I love Månstråle but have been told it's way too hippie to use, and sadly, I think I've come to agree :(
