Erasmus --This is ok. Isn't there a school program in Europe with this name?

Yup, it’s an EU student exchange programme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_Programme

Frode --Is this the name that inspired Frodo? Apparently they have the same Germanic root 'wise'. Klea – I’m surprised it’s not in the database also. Liya --Is this supposed to be a form of Lia?Book says:
Hebrew, ‘I am the Lord’s. Other form Leeya.
