What about Ashley or Sally for Asa? I agree, you'd better do something! The other girls should be fine.
Stian is interesting - is it from Christian, or Sebastian, or something else? Maybe the full form would be safer, otherwise it might look as if he had a girl's name like JoAnn.
Frode is very Tolkien! Bo could attract trouble but I'm not sure what to suggest - wasn't there an actress called Bo Someone? But the French Beau is as masculine as can be. Might be OK. And no real problem with Ulaf, except that you get being pronounced ; if that's the worst that ever happens to him, he's a lucky young man.

Imagine poor Ulaf being verbally abused and traumatised beyond recognition by redneck school kids:
"I laugh, you laugh we all laugh at Ulaf"
"I laugh, you laugh we all laugh at Ulaf"
