Is Oiva ever used on girls in Finland? I think it would be pretty on a girl but worry it would be like using Fred on a girl over here in the US.

Oiva is definitely more a masculine name. According to the Finnish Population Register Centre, Oiva is rarely used as a feminine name at the end of 1800s and in the early 1900s. And even then, it's been more common for boys/men.
