Finnish BAs
Parents' names are in brackets.Samuel Leon, brother Lucas (Helen and Petsku) - Petsku is probably a nickname for Petri or Petteri
Onni Pekka Emil, sister Lumi (Paula and Jussi-Pekka)
Casper Karl Maximilian, siblings Oscar, Emilie, Edward and Chloe (Helene and Joakim)
Otso Alfred Olavi (Laura and Harri)
Joar Vilho Andreas (Elina and Andreas)
Anton Ukko Olavi (Noora and Pasi)
Frans Kristian (Heidi and Hannu)
Vilho Oliver (Linda and Petteri)Frida Vilhelmina (Annika and Ville, grandparents Anne and Mikael & Arja and Jussi)

Ada Elea, sister Sara Elle Adele (Heidi and Tommi)
Keiku Raita Kerttu (Aino and Laura) - "Keiku" literally means "Sway!" in Finnish, but as a name it's probably chosen because of its nice sound (pronounced as KAY-koo) rather than its meaning; "raita" means "goat willow, pussy willow" and "stripe" in Finnish
Emilie Sofie, sister Lily (Iiris and Pietari)
Aamu Helinä, brother Paavo (Taru and Tuomo) - "helinä" means "jingle" in Finnish
Amelie Felicia Isabel (Pernilla and Carl-Erik)Isabella Gaia & Anastasia Amidala, brother Aleksanteri (Jaana and Janne)

Hi Remora!!!!But...where you find so many BAAS??
It is great!Onni Pekka Emil, sister Lumi
Lumi!!!!!! My love!!! I think that it probably is my favourite Finnish name! Every BA you compose, If there is a Lumi I always think that it is wonderful!
I remeber about Onni and I like it while Pekka and Emil have nice sounds.Casper Karl Maximilian
But this seems more German lolOtso Alfred Olavi
Otso! It is similar to the Italian "orso" which means bear too. However this combo is pretty.Pernilla and Carl-Erik
Elina and Andreas
Very nice!Clara Mimosa & Claudia Rosalie, siblings Dennis and Doris
The first twin is beautiful!! I love flowers and Clara is a good FN for it! Claudia Rosalie is not my style BUT both names make me think about a lovely, curly, blond child so they match very well together. Dennis and Doris are pretty too.Aamu Halinä
"morning jingle"???
So wonderful!!!!
This is exacly the style of names and combos that I would use!I also like some random name...
Joar, Ukko, Oliver, Taika, Tuuli, Lily, Anastasia, Aleksanteri, Edith.What about Lyyli??Well...I wrote too much! lolByeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Don't worry, it's nice to get long comments :)I get all my BAs from Helsingin Sanomat, which is the most popular newspaper in Finland. I usually pick the names from the Sunday issues, when HS publishes more family announcements (birth, engagement, wedding and obituaries).If I remember correctly, Casper Karl Maximilian's family had a Swedish last name. Finnish Swedes (= people who live in Finland and have Swedish as their mother tongue) usually prefer that type of names.Lyyli is a Finnish diminutive of Lyydia and Lydia. It's considered as a grandma name, though its popularity has risen in recent years. In fact, many other vintage Finnish names are popular again, such as Vieno, Hilja, Niilo and Aatos.
