Lempi lands on the "vintage trendy" category: it became first popular in the late 1800's/the early 1900's and is trending now a century later. Sisu, on the other hand, is a modern word name, becoming popular in the 2000's/the 2010's. Sisu as a word is very significant to Finns, you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu (Also, Sisu is my cousin's MN: his full name is Topias Kaarlo Sisu.)I like Virva, especially its connection to the Finnish folklore and will o' the wisps ("virvatuli" in Finnish). It isn't a very common name, so I'm always delighted when I see it used.
