in reply to a message by Erme Ioainna
Could you tell me the background on Sasu, Pihla and Nuutti? :)
Storm and wild strawberry...interesting! Are nature names popular in Finland?

Sasu is a modern diminutive of Sakari, a Finnish form of Zachary. Pihla is derived from "pihlaja", which means rowan tree in Finnish. Nuutti is a Finnish form of Knut.
Yes, nature names are very popular in Finland :) Myrsky and Metsämansikka, however, are very rare among those names, but I think Myrsky has become a bit more common in the recent years.
