[Opinions] Gimme, gimme... nice Swedish names!
Hi folks!I was just thinking about Swedish names because of the Sunniva-topic and I thought it would be kind of a new thing to this message board, so:which Swedish names (for boys AND girls) do you like and perhaps also why? List the ones you find worth mentioning! I need some new ideas! :-)I'll post mine later under this topic.
Cheers,
