Reply to:	Names invented by poets/playwrights/authors by Ylva

A.L. made up a number of names for her books: Pelje, Pippi(lotta), Tomte. I'm not sure about Tjorven and Skrållan. Ronja she made up from a map of northern Sweden - and later found out that it existed before: as a Russian pet form of Weronika or else a pet form of Roxana.
