Alicia Leonie -- perfectionVida Serafia Julia -- oooh, is Serafia "sehr-AH-fee-uh" or "sehr-ah-FEE-uh?" Either way, this one is gorgeous.Saga Eva-Li -- I can't believe I'm liking Saga now. I'm not big on the flow of these names together, but I'm willing to look the other way this one time. Martin Stenmarck and Hanna Hedland, you have been warned. Greta -- :-)Bibbi Nikki-Lo Inga-Lill Krabban -- Are they kidding? Well, Inga is nice.Cecilia -- Not a personal favorite, but I'm always glad to see classics being used.Frances -- The calm, down-to-earth charm of Frances is irresistible to me. Chili -- Call the baby name police. Mahbanoo Matilda Birgitta Lakshmi -- I'm wild for the combo Matilda Birgitta Lakshmi. I keep forgetting about comely Lakshmi. Note to self: stop overlooking Lakshmi.Florian -- I know some adore it, but it's too floral for me on a boy, sorry. ***Sexist hypocrite alert** Tilo -- I need more information. It feels too informal, but then again I adore Finn so I'm keeping an open mind.Jackson -- Ugh.Elvis Diego Anders -- Oh, aren't they the cutest parents? So hip and cool -- NOTBenji -- ick

Serafia is "sehr-AH-fee-uh". :) It's the mother's middle name as well.They're so not kidding about Nikki-Lo's names. It seems the father is from around my hometown, because they had a BA in the local paper. I had to check Kitty's blog if they were serious about Krabban, and yes, she had even posted a photo of the confirmation letter you get after registering a child's name. Bibbi and Inga-Lill seem to be family names, btw.Some people (blog commentators ...) were rather appalled when Amanda revealed Frances's name, actually. It's not really used in Sweden, and they thought it sounded silly pronounced in Swedish.I would like more information about Tilo too ...

SerafiaOh, good. "sehr-AH-fee-uh" was my preferred pronunciation. It flows the best in the combo as well. Frances will take over the planet competently and quietly -- and then they'll be sorry . . . .
