Well, I liked Violetta Lavender's suggestion of Aisling.Some off the top of my head:Mairead (although, with Rosemarie, this might be a problem)
Moira/Maura (similar problem as above)
Finola
CarolineThe thing is, I have a bad association with a Carina, which is why I said it was probably only me who would think it was out of place. Ooh! What about Kerensa? Just a thought...And what about Desmond Gunther/Gunter? I know it isn't Swedish, but it has the same winter-y vibe I get from Swedish names...

Mairead is a form of Margaret. So I don't see any problem if there is a Rosemarie (Marie) or Moira / Maura in the family already. Or was your concern more similar sound than origin?

Similar sound. Imagine yelling for Mairead, and every other time, Rosemarie pops her head around a corner and goes, "What?!"

You do know that Mairead has an "ay" sound on the end, right? ("mah-RAYD" rhymes with parade.)Sorry to be pendantic. Mairead is one of my all time favorite names so I'm overly protective of her. :-)
