Help[Opinions] Finnish BAs
Parents' names are in brackets.
Johanna Vellamo & Sinikka Säkene, sister Eva (Salla and Janne) - Säkene is an archaic Finnish word meaning "spark" (never seen it used as a name!)
Samuel Onni Anders (Mira and Tuomas)
Rafael Anton Henrik, siblings Moritz and Bianca (Laura and Antti)
Eino Albert Ilmari, sister Elna
Riku Heikki Juhani (Emma and Roni)
Väinö Jaakko (Oili and Henri)
Amanda Angélica (Roosa and Daniel)
Janni Pinja (Saana and Aleksi)
Lilja Ariel (Liina and Niko)
Elisabet Anni (Annika and Eero)
Anjareetta Viola Ilona, sister Helkalotta (Kirsi and Tuomas)
Nova Mari Vappu, brother Luka (Reetta and Tuukka)
Sanni Annele (Mia and Mika)
Also, my childhood friend Heidi's brother Henrik and his wife Kristiina named their firstborn daughter Eevi Aliisa (or Alisa). Henrik would have liked to name her Eeva, but Kristiina has a dislikable relative bearing this name, so they ended up Eevi as a compromise.

I like these:
Johanna Vellamo, Sinikka, and Eva (don't like Sinikka Säkene at all, though; it almost sounds like the same name twice)
Samuel Onni Anders
Rafael Anton Hendrik
Lilja Ariel (Ariel is much improved in Finnish, assuming it's AH-ree-el)
Eevi is so cutesy. I wish they'd just gone with someone else or put Aliisa up front. I love Aliisa / Alisa.

Johanna Vellamo & Sinikka Säkene -I like their middle names more than their first names.
Samuel Onni Anders (Mira and Tuomas) -Samuel and Anders are nice. I'm sure Onni sounds like a full name to your ears, but to my American ears, it sounds like a nickname. Mira is lovely.
Rafael Anton Henrik, siblings Moritz and Bianca (Laura and Antti) -I don't like any of these except Laura and that's just okay.
Eino Albert Ilmari, sister Elna =I like Ilmari and Elna.
Riku Heikki Juhani (Emma and Roni) -Riku is cool, but I don't like using short forms as full names.
Väinö Jaakko (Oili and Henri) -I've never heard of Väinö before, but I'm really digging it.
Amanda Angélica (Roosa and Daniel) -no thanks on all of these
Janni Pinja (Saana and Aleksi) -I like the parents' names, but not the daughter's.
Lilja Ariel (Liina and Niko) -Lilja is fine, but I don't like the Ariel spelling on a girl. Like both parents' names.
Samuel Onni Anders (Mira and Tuomas) -Samuel and Anders are nice. I'm sure Onni sounds like a full name to your ears, but to my American ears, it sounds like a nickname. Mira is lovely.
