We called our boy Taavi as well
I found it really hard to choose a name, nothing sounded right. A friend suggested Taavi and we loved it, suits him perfectly.

We ended up with Veronica and Alicia good in English and Finnish although Finns insist on writing Veronika, small price to pay when we are so happy with the names.
Not only is there no God, try getting a plumber on a Sunday!
