I'm from Finland... If I met a 24-year Kirsi here, I would be slightly surprised because it's more a typical name for a woman aged roughly 40-70 years. Still, I don't find it too dated or boring, but in fact quite beautiful (I like that "kirsi" is an archaic word for "frost").

Of the names on your list, Aurora, Erika and Tuuli would be suitable for a 24-year old (if you want the name to be realistic, that is). Terhi is more common for women born in the 1960's to 1980's, while Kielo is either a great-grandmother's or a vintage trendy newborn's name. I like Aurora and Erika the best for your story, though paired with a surname Harmaajärvi they're both a bit of mouthful. I would like to pick a two-syllable name, for example...

(I know, there are a couple of three-syllable names in the bunch, but I personally like them with Harmaajärvi.)
