I got inspired by Caprice's recent posts and listed names I consider to be typically Finnish. I also marked statistically the most popular names (that are used both as first and middle names).

About the pronunciation: the letter J is pronounced like Y in English, Y like the letter U in the French "rue", Ä like the letter A in the English "cat" and Ö like eu in the French "adieu". The double vowels are pronounced longer.
