Archives@ Satu (or other people knowledgeable about Finnish names)
I've been reading the Kalevala, and I was just wondering if any of the names are currently used in Finland. Would it be really odd to meet someone named Väinämöinen? How about Kyllikki? Aino? Louhi?
I love Finnish names...unfortunately most of them are nearly unpronounceable for English speakers. Or, like Louhi, have negative connotations. I like the way Louhi sounds, but ugh...what a character!
