Oh, neat. I love saying Mirjam and Ofelia out loud. Vendela is fun but I think I prefer Tullia and Irmelin even more. Ilian is interesting. Is it a variant of Elijah / Ilya? Just curious.

It just annoys me that Ofelia and Tullia have the same ending ...

Ilian is actually a medieval Swedish form of Egidius (aka Giles), via the German form Gilgen or Ilgen.

Thanks!

I adore Egidius / Giles. I've never heard of Gilgen or Ilgen before but I love them already. Thanks! New members for "Team Egidius." :-D
