[Opinions] Finnish "-aija" names
So far, I've collected six such names:
1. Aija (IE-ya)
2. Kaija (KIE-ya)
3. Maija (MIE-ya)
4. Raija (RIE-ya)
5. Saija (SIE-ya)
6. Taija (TIE-ya)I got from a Finn on BNaBBT: http://snipurl.com/ewgw. Most also popped on what-looks-to-be-reputable Finnish names sites that I Googled.For the Finns out there, are there any other -aija names that you use?

I really like Kaija. Maija and Taija are also very pretty.

I can't come up with any more, than Ianka has given.I like Kaija of those most, well, it's almost my name.
When I was little I liked Seija, but maybe you only want -aija names?

Well done!
I'm Finnish and I couldn't think of any other common -aija names. All the 6 you have are real names, some of them really popular.
I searched the database of all the first names ever registered in Finland and I found Laija (6 girls), Haija (5), Paija (3), Vaija (2), Daija (1), but I hadn't heard them before, and can't tell for sure if they're made-up or foreign (the site doesn't of course tell the origin of the parents).
Maija is one of my favourite names :)
