[Opinions] Re: Marjatta
in reply to a message by Y
I agree with this so much! Actually, using longer names mainly as middle names kind of bugs me in the Finnish naming customs. Why couldn't the longer name be the first name: you can always make shorter nicknames out of it! But then again, I still tend to prefer this "two syllable name + three syllable name" format. For example, I'd prefer your combos put other way round: so, Elsi Marjatta and Saara Marjatta rather than Marjatta Elsi and Marjatta Saara.
