Lots of nice ones here; just a few comments...

Leonard (Fredrika) - I like these together
Nils - I knew a Nels in school, very friendly guy
Noel (Simeon) - also like these together

Liv (Simon) - these are really nice together too
(Elmina) - don't think I've ever run across this before; is it considered a short form of Wilhelmina in Sweden?

Either a short form of Vilhelmina, or an extended form of Elma. (Which would be pretty much the same thing, it seems.)

That's right, "v" not "w" in Sweden. Got it now. :)

Elma is nice too. I've been enjoying "El" names a lot lately, including Elsa and Elva. Elma also reminds me of Wilma (which makes sense) and Velma too, though for you folks it would be Vilma, rather than Wilma, right?

Oh, well, we use the Wilhelmina spelling as well, but of course they're both pronounced with a V sound. Same thing with Wilma and Vilma. Wilma is actually the more common spelling nowadays.
