These are names that are either Old Norse (like Sigrid), originally Swedish (like Linnea), Swedish forms of common names (like Stina of Kristina) or names I simply think are typically Swedish (I might be wrong). Many of them are unusual or even rare today.
(I have followed the Swedish alphabet here; it's just like the English except that after Z we have three more letters: Å (sounds like "awww!"), Ä (sounds like ai in "hair") and Ö (sounds a bit like ea in "pearl").
