HelpNames in a Finnish band
A.K.A The Rasmus.
WDYT of Lauri (Low(as in cow-ree)
Pauli (Pow (as in above)-lee)
Aki (O-kie?)
Eero (?)
I love Lauri, (The name and the person ^_^), Pauli and Aki. I probably like Eero. Can anyone help with the pronounciation.
Lauri is the only name I plan to use on a boy. The other 3 would make a good middle name though. I know some people will say they should be used by Finnish people, but I plan to move to Finland one day...

As far as I know, "Eer" in Eero is prn sort of like "eer" in beer, and "o" is a short o-sound. So, EER-o is how I'd say it, and Aki would probably be prn AH-kee in Finnish. Personally I think it's lovely to see Nordic/Scandinavian names used by non-Scandinavians and by Americans in particular, there's so much americanization going on here so it's only fair that the name import/export goes both ways. :-)

Not like beer. Not that ee-sound. It`s more like the E in Eric.

Yes, It`s longer alright.
I have swedified my name too, nobody can say it the right way anyway. The Finnish way of saying it is harder than the swedish, which sounds more... happy? And it would sound funny in a converstion to speak one language, and then say one word with another pronounciation, especially finnish. Like "bla lalala KATJA lalala". It doesn`t sound nice.

Swedish; katt- (cat) ja. An extra T compared to Finnish.
Your name, Siii - ri (for you americans; Seee -reh, I think), the swedish way.
A Fin would maybe shorten the first i, kinda like in the name Sarah, but with i`s instead. But the r would ofcourse not be prn the English way.
I know I`m rambling.

Aki - like the sentence "a key", but shorten the ey part, like you`ve been interrupted midsentence. Hope I make some sense!
Eero - like aero (-plane). Well, almost. I know I don`t make any sense. Italian is very close to how you should pronounce the names.
So... why you wanna move to Finland? Where do you live now? I`m Finnish, though I was born and raised in Sweden, so I don`t quite see the lure with Finland. Even if I will defend my country against nay sayers.
Good luck with the names!

I live in England at the moment, but I've always wanted to live abroad, and I find Finland so beautiful.

I`d want to go to England to live, or somewhere in the British isles. Or Italy. And if I really had the opportunity I would go almost anywhere. I should get a grip on myself and just go, cause when is a better time to travel and experience other countries than when you are young and free?
