Re: William pronunciation
in reply to a message by Swiff
Most people pronounce it like it would be pronounced in English. However, there are some (mostly older people) who pronounce Will like Vill. That's why you might see spellings like Villiam and Viljam though William is the "correct" Swedish spelling.

Thank you! I am also surprised how popular Alice and Ella are. But my last list of popular names in Sweden is from 2002...
