I like Howard and Ralph, I think they have a dated charm... but that is not everyone's cup of tea. Lennart is pretty cool to me, but it has no connotations in my head since I have never heard of it. I would just have assumed it was a retro chic name.

In any case... I love the name Nils Bertil. I mean... Bertil is just so bold and quirky, yet solid and lively. I like it even better than Nils. I am not totally sure how your cousin says the name though. Behr-teel? Bertle?.... I lean towards the first pronunciations.

Nils is hard for me to say aloud, I can't quite catch the pronunciation well... but I like the look of it and find its short and sweetness charming.

So, while I agree that Nils Bertil is an out-of-the-box name... I totally appreciate it for that. Kudos to your cousin for being bold.
