My newest name crush is Marjatta, a Finnish (diminutive) form of Maria. Marjatta was more commonly used here in the first half of the 20th century (popularity peaking in the 1940's and the 1950's), so it is a bit dated currently. Marjatta is also a character appearing in Kalevala, the national epic of Finland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevala#Marjatta

I'd pair Marjatta with these of my favorite names:

Marjatta Alice
Marjatta Edith
Marjatta Elisabeth
Marjatta Ester
Marjatta Helena
Marjatta Iris
Marjatta Salome
Marjatta Saskia
Marjatta Sylvia
Marjatta Vanamo
Marjatta Vellamo

---

Ada Marjatta
Aina Marjatta
Alice Marjatta
Elisabeth Marjatta
Olga Marjatta

I was wondering how Marjatta seems to foreigners: what kind of vibes does it give to you? Is its proper pronunciation (MAHR-yaht-tah) too difficult and could it become butchered easily?
