Re: What would you name your kids using your grandparents names?
in reply to a message by Vekalvin
Maternal: Pirjo Briitta Johanna and Kari-Antti Tapio
Paternal: Liisa Emma Efia and Jorma Kyösti
My own name is Emma Johanna: it would be a beautiful thought to use Emma and/or Johanna as MNs, creating then a tradition starting from my grandmothers. But seriously, I've considered to name my possible daughter Effia (Efia is a misspelled form of it). I'm also fond of Tapio, which is an old Finnish name: it would still be quite a fresh name, because it's not so common these days.

Do you know what Effia means? I have a great aunt Effie, and I'm wondering if they're related now.
