[Opinions] Re: Finnish BAs
in reply to a message by Uilos
Amalia Eleonora and Pihla Saima Matilda are lovely. I also like Lea Vellamo - it's a bit mismatched combo, but the simpleness of Lea compliments the more romantic Vellamo.I can't understand Ellen Helen's parents. Even if we ignore that they are basically the same name, WHY do these parents want to give their child a rhyming name???? I have a rhyming name myself (and I have been so annoyed because of it!) but at least my first and middle name aren't related.

Ellen and Helen don’t rhyme in Swedish (and I don’t think they do in Finnish either). The e:s in Helen are long, so more like hee-lee-n.
