Some comments:
Alma Irma - ick, what a horrible combo! Makes me wanna call her "Arma Irma" (poor Irma)
Alma Sofia - this is very cute
Amelia Marie - cute
Elida Ingeborg Line - Line Elida Ingeborg would flow better
Ella Vilya Valentina - I like Valentina, but not the rest. Is Vilya from Sagan om Isfolket?
Felicia Linnéa Barbro - uugh, they should have skipped Barbro
Liv Malin Freja - sweet
Maj Frida - also sweet
Melinea Edela - sickly sweet, sounds made up
Saga Vailette Dagny - strange spelling, I've only seen it spelled Vajlet and Vailet
Siri Madelené - uggh, my eyes! That accent means that the name should be pronounced Ma-de-le-NAY instead of Ma-de-LAYN
Thea Marie Sakura - Sakura, interesting. I wonder if she is part Japanese or if the parents simply liked it
Alvin Lukaz - ick to Lukaz. What's wrong with Lukas or Lucas?
Colin Tommie - white trash
Emilio Dion Olof - crazy combo. Emilio and Dion sound like fashion models or gigolos, Olof sounds like a grandfather
Sture Carl-Johan - I hope he won't go by STURE...
Walle Borna - Borna? Never heard before

Borna is from my neck of the woods (quite popular here), so one of his parents is probably from here (or they used it to honor someone who is).
I'm pretty sure there's no Vilya in Sagan om Isfolket.
Like I said to Sigrid, I found 87 different spellings of Violet/Vajlet in the Swedish census for 1970 ...
The parents didn't have Japanese names, so it seems more likely they just liked Sakura.

Alma Irma -- They're both lovely names (I love Irma), but this is a terrible, terrible combo.
Fredrik Fritz -- A little redundant.

I managed to find 87 (!) spellings of Violet/Vajlet in the Swedish census for 1970 (I figured there might be more alive then than now). And they complain about creative spellings now ...
There are 87 ways to spell Violet? What? Whoa! I'm impressed! :D
Yup. Parents in the 1930s and 40s, when the name peaked in Sweden, were just as bad as today's parents. I think all of these are supposed to be Violet:

It's kind of bad that I like some of those spellings, isn't it? :D
So judging by all of the spelling variants, Violet was a big hit in 1930s/40s Sweden? How come?

I can't help but admire the parents who thought of the fantastic Vaeijlert.
It would have been in the top 200 somewhere, I think (that would be a top list including both first and middle names because I can't separate them). I don't know why ... Sounds like it would have come from some American movie star or the like, but I don't know of any?
I like to think that the oddly spelled Violets (born 60-80 years ago) named their daughters odd spellings of Madeleine (which was given many interesting spellings 20-50 years ago), and that the oddly spelled Madeleines now name their daughters odd spellings of Hailey (the current name-of-many-spellings).

Wow! I wonder if their parents just guessed at the spelling.
