Sibba (f) - nn for Sigbjörg, "victory help"
Fjóla (f) - pr. FYOWL-uh, "violet"
Brandur (m) - "fire" or "sword" (brand is Swedish for fire; conflagration)
Lúđvík (m) - LEWDH-veek (the letter that looks like a d is pronounced like the in English "the")
Rósa (f) - ROWS-uh

Hi Caprice !!!Thank you a lot!In this round I really like Brandur and Fjóla! I love that their mesnings are 'violet' and 'fire' and they are quite simple to pronounce.

Sadly, Fjóla wouldn't work in Sweden. "Fjolla" is Swedish for either "foolish woman" or "effeminate man"...
