Fatima alice seems like a very unusuakl name for a Swedish child born in 1877! Well, the Fatima part. There are so many lovely names here. I really like:Fatima Alice
Alexina Amanda Charlotta (another modern one!)
Almina Rebecka Tertulliana
Kallista Valentina
Naëmi Isidora (gorgeous)
Äler Valentin (what does Äler mean?)

Fatima actually wasn't that rare in 19th century Sweden. Not very common either, but there are 228 in the 1900 census, 6 of them born in 1877. Äler puzzles me, I haven't been able to find anything about it at all.
