Solbritt is a combination of "sol", meaning "sun", and Britt. Sol-Britt is another common spelling.
Gry has a rolled R and the Y is pronounced like in French "rue" or German "für".

EbbaWhat's with Ebba? Is this an old name that's never gone out of style or is it newly trendy? What in your opinion would be the British/American equivalent?

Ebba is an old Swedish name that has gotten more and more popular over the last 20 years or something like that. Dunno about a British/American equivalent...

No, we're sort of inconsistent with our O's. :P "pool" "Brit", rather.

W is treated as just a fancy way of writing V in Swedish, so yes. It's almost exclusively female here: there are 5219 women named Vanja or Wanja - not very common but not that uncommon either - but only 59 men.
