Help[Opinions] Extensive list of Swedish birth announcements for September
I've been collecting all online hospital BAs from Sweden all year, compiling them into top lists, and I've been meaning to post them for ages but haven't got around to it until now. :P If anyone's interested, I'll post January - August too, and October when I'm done compiling.
Some notes:
These BAs come from the websites of about 20 hospitals all over the country, and should cover about 5% of all children born in Sweden in September. About a third of the children have already been included in posts by me or Caprice, but I didn't bother with editing them out.
It's a top list, so it's ordered by the number of children with the name, with no siblings included.
A name in CAPS means it's definitely the name they'll be called. You see, we don't have quite the same concept of "first names". Unlike eg the US, where I gather the norm is that people go by the first name of their combo, and if they don't, they're not using their real first name; on Swedish birth certificates you put the names in any order you want and then you just note which one will be the tilltalsnamn ("addressing name"), no matter where in the combo it is. The children with combos without any name in caps might go by any of their names, there is no way for me to know since it wasn't noted in the BAs. (The first name being the tilltalsnamn is the most common, though. And sorry for the lengthy explanation, it's just that I feel I have had to explained this so many times before I better make it clear from the beginning ... ;))
The children without middle names most likely have them too, it's just that middle names aren't included in BAs very often here.

Wow, nice work!
Some comments:
Alva - would have been my brother's name had he been a girl. I think it's rather cute
Alice - I've never liked this. To me it sounds like an old lady with curlers and a cigarette dangling from her mouth screaming and cussing at everything.
Alma - it's cute and it's nice that it has so many meanings. It can mean nourishing, soul, and also apple in Turkish
Signe - it's cute
Wilma - zzzz zzz
Lovis - cute
Lovisa - also cute
Märta - I like it; it was the name of a great-grandmother of mine
Ada Margit - ick
Alma Gabriela Carola - nice except for Carola
Anny - unusual, Annie is much more common
Edda - I think this is our next Alice, but it's much cuter
Emmy Edith Amelia - I like the names per se, but not together
Esmaralda - prefer the usual spelling
Estelle - ohh, brave to choose the princess name
Evangeline - me like
Hillevi Bricken - this one is from Uppsala. I have seen Bricken in a book, is it a name from the north of Sweden?
Johanna - it's common, but I love it
Joy Synnøve Cielo - cool, but I can't say I like it
Laerke - cute
Maja Aina Teolinda - TEOLINDA? Now that's unusual
Novalie - this is so sugar-sweet...ick
Ophelia - love it
Melvin - sounds like "mellow"
Eddie - screams "bully"
Liam - so does this
Sixten - yay, like my cat! :)
Dexter - can't stand this, only makes me think of murders...
Hilding - haha, this is so cute
Kevin - trashy
ANAKIN Ferdinand - Anakin is AWFUL
Bobo - childish
DANIEL Roland Bert - Bert, poor child. Good to know it's not his first name
Danny Zakarias - Danny is trashy
Devin - trashy
Fex - what!?
Gabriel - my brother's name!
Kuentin - strange spelling
Lotus - I guess it's not after the flower, but after the car
Nilas - Saami kid? Rather cute name
Oskar Yuri August - interesting
SEBASTIAN Andreas Leon - I would have them in another order, but good names
Shire - umm, like in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire? Or is it pr. SHEE-reh?
Wayne - hockey fans? Or western fans?
Aylin & Elina - too close
Elissa & Elias - both names are cute, but they sound too much alike

Bricken was used a lot in Gävleborg a century ago, for some reason.
Fex's siblings had very common names. Makes me wonder if they didn't just miss a couple of letters in Felix?
I would think Shire is a SHEE-reh.
