Hi from Helsinki, everyone. It's very peaceful here.

For fun, pretend you are Finnish and name your kids accordingly. What would you choose?
Gender and number of kids up to you.

List here: http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/finnish

I'd name mine:

Kaija Esteri
Oskari Vainamoinen
Eveliina Aamu
Leevi Heikki
Suvi Hannele
Jaska Matias
Lumi Tuulikki

Have fun!

Keep in mind, I have no idea about naming fashion in Finland so I may end up having a lot of old fashioned names mixed with trendy names! I didn't want to go straight to the very English looking names so I branched out.

Ritva Tuulikki
Lumi Kyllikki
Lyyti Kirsikka

Akseli Lars
Kai Luukas
Kyosti Mikko

Very nice! Lumi and Tuulikki made my list as well, and I find Kyllikki & Kirsikka very intriguing. They seem to love their double letters.

Oh no! I caught the ferry to Tallinn last night. We could have had a Finnish BtN meetup!

I like Lumi. I didn't realize till now that Calla was also Finnish.

I really liked my first visit to Finland. Wish I could afford to stay longer! Although Estonia is great too so can't complain.

Shame, enjoy your trip though.

Calla's not a Finnish name, it's Greek, but she does have a Finnish middle. She was born here just after we arrived.

Ada Janna
Maria Laura
Joel Matias

Haha, I think I may have chosen the least Finnish looking of all the Finnish names.

Haha yeah those are very non-Finnish sounding. I do like Ada & Matias though.
