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 ;-)

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 :-)

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.

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. :/
