OK, some comments:

---

Ace - ick. Makes me think of The Ace of Spades
Acksel - horrible spelling of Axel. "Ack!" is like "alas!" or "woe!" in Swedish.
Alfie - kind of cute. I think of that song: "What's it all about, Alfie?"
Atticus - although I love To kill a mockingbird, this name always makes me think of an old, dusty attic...
Banjo - I know Banjo Paterson was a poet, but I only think of those guys from Deliverance...
Braxton - ick!
Braythen - I have juft loft my fwonth teeth
Darius - makes me think of a very stylish vampire! I would prefer Darian or Darien. Darius is rather cool, but it sounds a bit snobbish
Dexter - this is very popular in Sweden right now. I think it's horrible
Dionysius - ugh
Ellis - I know it was originally a male name, but it sounds too feminine on a boy
Foster - means "foetus" in Swedish. Missfoster means freak, freak of nature, oddity, so there is a Swedish joke about how Jodie Foster is "Miss Foster"...
Fox - Swedish brand of fudge
Jagger Tucker - what, BOTH? Like Jagger-Tucker? Horrible
Jax - why not Jack, simply? Jax sounds like a Star Trek character
Jethro - ha ha, cool
Jonas - is this rare in Australia? It's a very common name in Sweden
LG - what!? Like the TV!? *Hysteric laughter*
Lunden - means "the grove" in Swedish
Nixon - one of the worst presidents EVER
Obadiah - ob la di ob la da
Ocean - love it on a girl
Rafe - bark, bark, woof
Sonic - The Hedgehog!?
Wraith - I had to google it. OK, so it's like "ghost"? I'd rather name a child Phantom :P
Airlie Laykyn - blargh, sounds like an NHL team. Arlington Lakers or something...
Allegra - LOVE it
Avalon - GP
Avrielle - nah, sounds like they couldn't choose between Avril and Gabrielle
Bronx Angel - SOOO tacky
Deja - why do I feel I have seen this before? ;)
Dottie - OK nickname, but horrible given name
Elydia - sounds like a compromise between Elysia and Lydia
Emerald - sweet
Freyja - I like it spelled Freja
Huxley - agree with you, this is awful on a girl
Ilaisaane - "All insane"
Kyrilee - I like Kyra, and Kyrie is a GP for me. But this isn't cute
Lanique - sounds like hair spray
Lois - I think of Family Guy
Mindy - and Mork
Polly Pixie - argh! Makes me think of my cousin's Polly Pocket, she had tons of those tiny doll houses when we were small
Seren - oh, this is so beautiful!
Sharneequah - sorry, I have to....*throws up in bucket*
Tulli - I like Tullia
Vienna - tacky
