[Opinions] Re: Finnish BAs
I like:
Noel Sulo Henrik (Sari and Jonas)
Henrik Allan, sister Olivia
Kiprian
Matias Alfred, sisters Ellen and Eva Oona Inkeri - a rather odd combination of names.
Oona Elisabeth - Wait, is Oona a Finnish name?
Lilian Elise, brother Thomas - I've seen this combination so many times.
Noomi Elsa Esteri, brother Leevi (Elina)
Sylvia, sister Linnea
Nomi Olivia
Nora Linnea, brother Paul Matias (Sari)
Louisa Miriam (Philip)Oliver Manu Petteri

Yep, Oona is also used in Finland. It's pronounced a bit differently than in English though, something like OH-nah (the OH sound is held longer like all the double vowels in a Finnish language). I don't know how Oona has found its way to Finland, but according to a Finnish Wikipedia page it's popularity started to rise in the 1980's.
