Serafina Selma Cecilia (so many s's!) I think Nero is a weird name to give a kid, since the only other Nero I know of was that crazy Roman emperor. Is it a Finnish name, too?Is Unelma like name giving a kid the middle name Adream? Or is it more like A-Dream? Unelma sounds pretty in English, but it might be just weird in Finnish...

The word "nero" actually means "genius, mastermind" in Finnish, but I still feel that Nero in this case refers to the Roman name.Unelma would be same like giving a name Dream to an English-speaking person. The word "unelma" means "a/the dream" in Finnish, whereas the Finnish word for "to dream" is "unelmoida, uneksia". That's why I put the article "a" there :) By the way, Unelma is pronounced as OO-nel-mah in Finnish.
