The first sibset is great. My favorites are Alexander, Linnéa, Matilda, Lovisa and Theodor. I'm not a fan of Isac, but it's alright.The second sibset is both good and bad. I like Linnea, Viktor, Alice and Thor. I think Kevin is downmarket in Sweden (which is a shame because it's a pretty name). And Benny as a full name is ridiculous. Sibset no. 3 is crap. I don't really like any names there (not even Robert or Patricia). Corrinda, Novalie, Trixie and Lovelia are pretty childish, if you ask me.

I don't like Trixie. I find it too nicknamey. Maybe it's cute on a little child, not so cute on a teen. :P Are you form Sweden btw?

I agree: Trixie is too cutesy. Works as a nn for Beatrix though. I'm not Swedish, but I currently live in Stockholm.
