I like:Torsti Toivo Vihtori, Elsa
Rasmus Eino Antero - this is an interesting combination of "young" and "old" names
Aino-Leena
Väinö Valdemar - I don't know why I like it, since it's not really my style...
Vilho Aatos, brother Eino Armas
Frida Liis Susanna
Eden Iina Adele
Elna Sinikka (Hanni and Hannu) - Elna, what a surprise! And the parents' names are wonderfully theme-y :)
Elsa
Ruut MatildaThere's no point trying to deny that "old" names are now trendy. I was surprised to see Viljo and Eino as first names though. They seem so hopelessly grandfatherly to me!I can't picture Saarni and Havu as names, and definitely not as masculine ones! Hilma Hellevi and Taimi Tupuna made me laugh.
