Nice to see Wilda, though I know most aren't fans. How do you pronounce Loke? I've read 'loo-keh' but not sure if it should be 'low-keh'.

'loo-keh' is right. A single letter generally can't be a diphthong in Swedish, unless you're from the very south, or it's in an English loan, like James.

Valdemar - it sounds epic.

Lykke is LYCK-e - the Y sound doesn't really exist in English, but it's like the vowel in French "rue" or a German ü.
Källa is quite new on the whole, there are just 33 in Sweden, and only one of them is older than 16 (she's an actress, and has a brother called Nanok, btw).

I don't know much French or German -- is it like the Finnish Y? If so, I think I know how it sounds!

Yes! It's always difficult to know what other languages you can refer too ...

Woo, Domino! Awesome.
Is Ebbot related to Ebba? And is Wiking common?
vote up1
I think Ebbot is inspired by singer Torbjörn "Ebbot" Lundberg. A common nickname for Torbjörn is Tobbe, and Tobbe backwards is Ebbot.Viking isn't very common right now, but in the whole population it was the 313th male name a few years ago, so not that uncommon. Wiking is a much rarer spelling though.
