Names on my mind
Just some names that have been on my mind lately, any thoughts welcome. :)
Angelie - this is in my Swedish pronunciation dictionary (pr. an-she-LEE) for unknown reasons, it has a few odd names included
Frida
Snöfrid (SNÖ-freed, Ö = u in burn) - Old Norse name meaning "beautiful snow", or "snow peace" in modern Swedish - is it only usable for a winter child, or doesn't it matter?
Viola - vee-OO-la in my part of Sweden, VEE-o-la in other parts of the country - which do you prefer?
And on a more English-friendly note, Ruby, Hazel and Juliet as sisters have been on my mind too.

I like the look of Angelie, but not the pronunciation.
I like Freida
Snofrid looks really cute and I love the meaning. I don't think it would matter when the child was born. It's actually delightful :)
I prefer Violet but Viola is nice enough. I prefer Vee-o-la
Ruby is just so common here, especially among teenage mummies, It's just really overdone so bores me slightly. Hazel is pretty but nothing spectacular for me. I like Juliet but dislike Julie names as a hole. They sound fine as sisters
