I'd say Helga - as a name - is more typical in German. And my high school german teach was Helga.
Found a page with Swedish names:
THORBJÖRG: Swedish variant spelling of Icelandic Þorbjörg, meaning "Thor's protection."
VALLBORG: Swedish variant spelling of Scandinavian Valborg, meaning "salvation of the slain in battle."
ARNBORGH: Old form of Swedish Arnborg, meaning "eagle protection."
Wish my name was something like that.

Feel my hands around your throat.

Swedish and Danish is so similar to Norwegian that foreigners would call them the same language. Heck, even I say that they are all variants of the same language, and trust me, you wouldn't want a name like that. Those are the most old fashioned and manliest female names that exist in both Swedish and Norwegian.

I take it you're Scandinavian? I was learning about the whole genesis of the north European languages in the first semester and I'm taking swedish as my second language next year. And I sure as hell wouldn't like to have an old fashioned manly name so thanks for that remark. I'll sue that site now.

I'm Russian, but I have lived in Norway most of my life.
Where are you from? Just wondering which country offers education in such a small language as Swedish.
Fun fact: I read in one of my school books that 90% of those who were taking Norwegian in a university in Rome did it because of the black metal genre that Norway is famous for
