Names that are not in the database:Nanne is most likely a variant of Nanna.
Repo is a nickname/poetic word meaning "fox" ("kettu" is more commonly used).
Mikontytär means "Mikko's daughter".
Ninja is most likely derived from a Spanish word "niña", meaning "little girl" (not the Japanese word meaning "spy").

Lempi lands on the "vintage trendy" category: it became first popular in the late 1800's/the early 1900's and is trending now a century later. Sisu, on the other hand, is a modern word name, becoming popular in the 2000's/the 2010's. Sisu as a word is very significant to Finns, you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu (Also, Sisu is my cousin's MN: his full name is Topias Kaarlo Sisu.)I like Virva, especially its connection to the Finnish folklore and will o' the wisps ("virvatuli" in Finnish). It isn't a very common name, so I'm always delighted when I see it used.
