I'm Swedish, and I wouldn't call Lillivi Swedish. It's just a made up name, and it's not even used here. Or to be exact, there's ONE person in Sweden named this. Hillevi is a real name though, Lillivi is ridiculous.
I wouldn't exactly call Lialotta a Swedish name either. Lotta is a Swedish nickname (sometimes used as a given name), but Lia? It's used in Sweden (about 500 people have it as their FN) but it's not exactly Swedish.
As for the others, I find them dated. None of them would be used today. Liselotte, Evalena (usually spelled Eva-Lena) and Evalotta (Eva-Lotta) are used in my parents generation. Esbjörn is a quite funny name. I can't take it seriously.
My favorite is probably Erland, but I can't really take that seriously either. Makes me think of birds, since my grandfather has a small bird living on hos roof, and my grandpa named him Erland.
