Yes the Finns are fond of double vowels and use them quite frequently in their names. I like it though, it adds flair to them, without them theyre just regular, common names. The pronounciation varies slightly as well. It may look odd at first to someone who isn't accustomes to them but they really are beautiful names. Some people act insensitive about it but it really is just about uniqueness, remember that :)
