LOOOOOVE Ludvig. Or, you know, Ludwig, but with that 'v' you're forcing people to put on their best German etc. accent, and avoiding 'wig' because you know kids will tease over anything. Then again, a mini Ludvig is unavoidably hilarious, in an awesome way. I don't think much of the sibset, though.

Legolas is HILARIOUS! Oh god, talk about giving the bullies a headstart. That kid is going to have to fight for every inch of respect he gets, isn't he? Looking at the sibset, the parents are obviously fan-geeks. Nothing wrong with that, until you name your kid Legolas.

Hugo is great, in an obnoxious, middle-class way... but I like Hugo, so, erm...

Blixa and Mayday. Squick, squick, squick. How hipsterish and try-hard can you get. Lame. I hate both on the hipster basis, because everyone knows hipsters suck. And even then... Mayday. Oh god.

Teo - ick. Give the kid a full name and use Teo as a nickname. I feel the same way when I see kids called Ben. Benjamin? Benedict? No, just Ben. It's kinda naming short-changing and half of them go through life with people endlessly trying to erroneously lengthen their name.
