Hi everyone! We welcomed our little girl Auli into the world 13 months ago.
We're now considering expanding our family, and have started thinking of baby names again. We have some good ideas for baby girl names, but we're stuck on names for a boy. Who wants to help? I am very interested in quintessential/traditional Finnish boy names.
What are your suggestions? What are your favourites? Thanks
Eeva

That's a strong contender.

No Adolf, because my name is Eeva. I wouldn't want us to be too 'matchy matchy'.

Adolf would have been easy to pronounce, but I think it isn't quintessential. And I think it wouldn't be used unless it goes on in the family.

Ari-Pekka, of course.
Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.

How about Teemu-Olli.
If you're from Quebec... the French speakers will love it!
