Help[Opinions] Finnish names for a real baby
My friend is going to have a baby; she and her husband come from families of Finnish descent so they are looking into appropriate names. (We live in a heavily Scandinavian area where you can hardly throw a stone without landing it near an elderly Saari, Paavo, or Toivo.)
For a girl they're considering the name Milla (ME la) Sisu or Saari Irina. For a boy they are looking at Nikolaus Laine (LIE neh) or Matias Sisu. You can find some pronunciations here: http://www.sci.fi/~kajun/finns/meanings.htm
What do you think? They're looking for humane options, nothing with a pronunciation too far from its spelling, while holding up with their heritage at the same time.
