Help[Opinions] Re: Finnish BAs
in reply to a message by Remora L.
Oooh, interesting. I'd love to hear the source (some newspaper?) if you don't mind sharing it. :)
Let's see:
Edvin Hor Tapani, sister Ainu (Kieng and Panu) -> What a fascinating combination of names! I wonder what the parent's cultural backgrounds are - Panu and Tapani are of course very traditional Finnish, but then Kieng, Edvin and Hor all sound like they come from different cultures.
Tatu Herman Juhani, sisters Anni, Essi and Iisa -> The siblings' names sound lovely together. I don't care much for Tatu though. I'd love for Juhani to become more popular as the first given name.
Lasse -> Oooh, just one name! I'm becoming tired of "everyone" giving their children three first name, so this is really refreshing, and... almost bold?
Samuel Into -> I'm growing to like Into.
Eliel Akseli, brother Leevi -> I'm also beginning to like Eliel, and Akseli is a favourite. Pretty!
Alvar Reino Edward, sisters Laura Enni Sofia and Maia Anna Ingrid (Kirsti and Pekka) -> I like the girls' names, but not Alvar's. Edvard would have been better IMO.
Timur Pablo Nicolas, brother Daniel (Sirpa and Juha-Petteri) -> I'm sure there is a reason behind the name choices, but my first thoughts were "jeez" and "hopefully their surname isn't Korhonen etc."
Elsa Tuulikki, brother Toivo -> Adorable! Elsa is a new favourite of mine.
Saga Aino Alexandra and Ella Isabella -> Both fall under the category of lovely but overused.
Aura -> ♥
Selma Ellen Aleksandra -> Really like!
Elvi Livia, siblings Aaro, Ilmo and Maleena -> Really interesting. Is the sister's name really Maleena or was it a typo?
Perla Helena -> Like this.
Fanny Lotta Rebekka -> Love Fanny!
Emilia Inkeri Pekantytär, brother Eelis (Niina and Pekka) -> I like Emilia Inkeri (and Eelis too!), but I have always really disliked these Xntytär or Xnpoika. It's like the parents have to keep convincing themselves who is the baby's father. Boring.
Alma Alisa Sylvia -> Oh, this is really beautiful.

All these names are from Helsingin Sanomat, most of them from the Sunday issues.
Lasse and Aura probably have middle names too, they just weren't mentioned in the announcements.
Little Timur indeed had a Finnish last name (if I remember correctly). Not Korhonen, but still a very Finnish one...
Maleena isn't a typo: I think it's a rarely used Finnish form of Malena.
