Amy-Louise is odd, not just because it doesn't seem Finnish at all, but it also feels like something that would have been used in the 70's or 80's. I like:

Amy-Louise was born in Australia (if I remember correctly) and I believe one of her parents is Aussie. Amos' father seems to be Swedish-speaking Finn (based on his name) and all of his son's name are currently quite popular among Swedish-speaking population. Eevi is used as a full name here (and generally; I've never come across anyone with Eevi as a nickname).
