Help[Opinions] Re: Finnish BAs + presidential baby!
in reply to a message by Remora L.
I like:
Elina Aili Marjatta, brother Alpo (Joanna and Teppo)
Aurora Astri Lumikukka - Lumikukka means "snow flower" in Finnish
Eloisa Hilla-Maria (Erika and Olli) - Hilla means "cloudberry"; Eloisa also means "lively, vivacious" in Finnish
Hugo Emil (Mari and Olli)
Joel Emil, but not Eliel (Tiina and Antti)
Aaro is cool; is it pronounced AH-ro? Is it a popular name in Finland? I'm not a fan of Nuutti but I love Matias!

You're right about Aaro's pronunciation, though I would point out that the double A makes the "AH" sound longer (if that makes any sense). Aaro has been quite a popular name in recent years: it charted #19-#39 in the top 50 first names' list in 2007-2011 and peaked on the #49 spot in 2014. In a couple of past years Aaron has been slightly more popular, but I think Niinistö's baby may increase Aaro's popularity again.
