Help[Opinions] From a Swede..
in reply to a message by Felie
Cai - Unusual spelling. It's normally spelled Kaj or sometimes Kai. I like Kai but not enough to use.
Janne - Only used as a nickname for Jan. Common among males around the age of 50-65.
Axel - I like it! It's a real classic.
Sigge - Not something I'd use, but it's not terrible. Used both as a nickname (Sixten, Sigvard etc) but also common among kids as a given name
Pontus - Not a big fan of names ending in -us, but it's just a personal preference.
Kevin - Nope. Not a fan. Many people here would also describe it as either "ehite trash" or "low class". To me it's the same kind of name like Tindra, Nova and Liam (I do like Liam though)
Gerhard - Unusual and very dated. I don't think I've ever met or heard of anyone with this name.
Oscar - also a real classic. It's been extremely popular since the early 90's.
Malena - unusual name. I know it's listed as Swedish here, but to me it sounds more Danish/Norwegian. Maybe because of Malene? I went to school with someone with Norwegian heritage named Malene.
Rebecca - Boring, ugly and dated. Popular in my own generation.
Ebba - Classic, but not something I'd use.
Kerstin - Dated, popular among women aged somewhere about 50-70. I do have a friend with this name though, born 1992. Not something I'd use, but it's kinda sweet. Kerstin is like your fairytale grandmother - someone named Kerstin just can't be mean.
Gry - Unusual and ugly.
Thyra - Tyra is the most common spelling. It's an okay name.
Emmy - Nicknamey, I do quite like it though
Cajsa - Not a favorite. I had a teacher named this. Kajsa is more popular.
Ingeborg - Really dated. Maybe Gerhard's sister?
Agneta - Also dated, common among women around the age of 50.
Ottilia - Unusual, someone I went to college with has a daughter named this though
Gunhild - Also very dated. A bit more popular than Gerhard and Ingeborg, but not a name anyone would use today.
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
