Ang: What is this, a short form of Angst or Anger? Certainly not a Swedish fn.
Beck: This is a Swedish surname, usually spelt Bäck.
Bergren: Berggren is a common Swedish SURNAME. Surnames are not used as fn in Sweden.
Brand: "brand" means "fire" in Swedish. Not used as a fn.
Burr: "burr" is what you say when you feel really cold. Not used as a fn in Sweden.
Carson: Not used in Sweden, unless by some immigrant from USA.
Dana: This IS used in Sweden but it is very uncommon (390 women and 59 men).
Denholm: Sounds more like a Swedish surname ("holm" means "small island" in Swedish)
Fisk: Means "fish" in Swedish, I'm quite sure that noone would give this as a name to their child. I doubt it would even be allowed by the authorities.
Gala: There is 1 (one!) woman in Sweden with this name. Probably an immigrant, since "gala" is a verb meaning "crow" in Swedish.
Hadrian: Adrian is the version used in Sweden. But there actually is one man named Hadrianus.
Jaythen: Typical American, looks very un-Swedish to me.
Trind: Not a Swedish fn, "trind" means "chubby, plump" in Swedish. But there is a popular girl's name Tindra. Also a few girls named Trina (a short form of Katrina)

Now, how do YOU like these names?

"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

*rolls eyes*

And it is by stupid names like this that feed likes to you abut names like Keraden meaning "jovial, festive". *cries*

Ang -I just see "Angst" or "Anger" in short form.
Beck -I do believe this is an English surname too. Along with Beckett and Beckham.
Bergren -reminds me of Bergen Belsen..not so pleasant.
Brand -Well, at least he'd have a "Brand Name". *rolls yes*
Burr -Brrr....It's frezzing in here."
Carson -It's not even a first name here in the US.
Dana -nmsaa....I mean, isn't Dane a kind of person? This just looks like what a female Dane should be called. hehe.
Denholm -A home in Denmark? Probably where Dane and Dana live.
Fisk -*looks down at sleeping infant* "My dear baby fish".
Gala -Somewhat like this.
Hadrian -Well, one of the better on the list, but nms.
Jaythen -Scary one.
Trind -Sounds too close to "Trend". Not very name-ish even in sound.
