SerhildanI'm pretty sure Serhildan is Turkish, but I've never heard it before (although it reminds me of Serhan, which I have heard before). What does it mean?

I'd also assume that it's a Turkish name, but, same as you, I've never seen or heard of it before.
As for its meaning, I checked pretty much all my name books and none of them has Serhildan listed, so I honestly don't know. :/

Nice list! I like a lot of these. Henry Siegfried is especially fun, might have to steal that.
Do you know anything about Fridolin, Thure, & Enno?

Thure is a variant of Thore and Tore.Fridolin is an old name of Middle Franconian origin. It's said to be derived from friþu = peace + the diminutive ending -lenus. Sometimes it was also used as a kind of diminutive form of Friedrich. Anyway, it's been around since at least the 7th century, Fridolin of Säckingen is one more or less well-known bearer.Enno is a Frisian and Low German name. It's either a short form of names containing either the element "Egin-", or "Ein-" or else "Arn-".
This is one of the few "regional names" that get used nationwide. Last year Enno made on the Top 500 list.

These always look like such a fun mix of perfectly normal Swedish names and something old Germanic "barbarians" would have been called. ;) LOL! That one made me laugh.And I agree, Lilly Alice is a nice name :-)

Thank you!Ah, yeah, there were quite a few regional names (and some dated ones) in there, especially with the boys, so I'm not too sure if many Germans would have liked those either ;-)
