While "Armas" means beloved in Finnish, it isn't a common word and most people don't use it on a daily basis (if ever), "rakas" is used more. "Armas" has an old, poetic ring to it. [noted -ed]

This name is also fun to pronounce because it starts with "A" as you would pronounce in Finnish (and Estonian I think, although there could be a difference in phonology I cannot tell because I am not a native Finno-Ugric language speaker) that is more round and towards the back of your mouth and uses an "r" which is articulated in Finnish (and Estonian) and thus gives the syllables more definition and is more fun to say (from a native-English speaker, at least). Pronunciation wise it is like the name Arvo.
For me personally I think the name sounds very warm and sweet, and I also associate it with the composer Armas Järnefelt, who wrote some really good music, and the word for "love" in Estonian (armastus). Now it is one of my favorite names :)
(I know I am kind of restating the previous comments but they are reasons why I like the name)
