Bror is so dated it's starting to get popular again. ;)
J is normally pronounced like Y here, so it would be "Yonn" and "Yeremy". It is possible they say Jeremy the English way though, it's not very common and still perceived as an English name. John is a lot more established as a Swedish name and thus less likely to be pronounced in English.

Oh, well that makes me happy! As do "Yonn" and "Yeremy" - I think J's pronounced as Y's are fabulous, generally :)

I like Engla and Tage, do you have any extra information on these names?

Engla is a form of Engel, a German name meaning "angel" (it has the same meaning in Swedish as well, just with a slightly different spelling). It can also be seen as a form of the Swedish name Ingela, but the angel association is probably what made it popular.
Tage (TAH-ge) is an old Danish name with the same root as the English word "take" (Old Norse "taka"), so it means "taker", which could be interpreted as something like "heir" or "bondsman". It was popular in Sweden in the first half of the 20th century, and has gotten popular for babies again recently, it entered the top 100 in 2011.

I feel like I've seen quite a lot of Decibels in BAs ... There are only 74 in Sweden though, but with 9 different spellings. Decibel, Decibelle, Decibell, Desibelle, Desibel, Desibell, Dessibell, Dessibelle and Dezibell (from most common to the unique ones).
