I hope Pihla and Hilla don't sound as similar in Finnish as I think they do.Erik Erkinpoika is a bit redundant. I guess there are Erik Eriksons, so why not Erik Erkinpoikas?My favorites:
Sofia Lily and Isabella
Alexandra Linnea
Taimi Linnea (not fond of Anni as a given name, though)
Iiris Helmi Emilia

Pihla is pronounced as PIH-lah (the letter h should be pronounced clearly), Hilla as HIL-lah. I think they're both cute names, but when put together like that they're just too similar. And yep, there are/have been tons of Erik Erikssons in Finland and Scandinavian countries, but Erik Erkinpoika is a new acquaintance even to me.
