Femi could be after Femi Kuti. I think Titiyo's father is from an African country, though. Pebble Beach apparently is a golf course.

Unni Drougge: Iggy, Leo, Nova ("Nonno"), Link and Babs -- Eek. Lucky Leo....
Pernilla Wahlgren: Oliver, Bianca, Benjamin and Theodor -- I don't like her at all, but the names are nice.
Lotta Bromé: Bonnie -- I like Bonnie. It's cute.
Magnus Hedman: Carl Lancelot and Tristan from Avalon -- I thought his name was just Tristan...
