First Name: Epäjärjestelmällisyydessänsäkään

Last Name: Metsämarjatäysmehutiivistepurkki

I opened for ABBA.

I got the moniker "Seppo Marjala." Which sounds like what you'd call the backup guitarist for Nightwish or something.

:P

First Name: Tuulikki-A woman spirit of the forest.
Last Name: Mansikkamaa-Strawberry land.
My Finnish last name is actually easier to spell than my real last name.

I am Kaleva Valo.

Ernie ... I have neighbors back home whose last name is Kaleva ... IANMTU ... so, parts of that site are sorta real ...

And ... livin' amongst folks of Finnish extraction has taught me several things, not the leadt of which is that the language runs long on vowels ...

"least"

OtU: So the Finns got that shipment of vowels that was supposed to go to Wales? No wonder the Welsh are running short...

Aurora Luoto-but-here, which is lovely until my Long Island relatives get a hold of it. Then it sounds like a deranged basset hound in heat.

Viljo Hongisto -- means "best pine tree place"

Touko Sinivuokko at your service. Something like seedpod kidney wart.

I'm Kaleva Harju
Kaleva — The mythical giant
Harju — Ridge

Nah! I should be "The Big Red Firefighter", because the Finns live next to the Russians, and fire engines are always rushin'.

Nah. I got nothing.

My moniker - "Seppo Marjala" - translated more-or-less as "epic blacksmith from the home of berries."

Yeah, that's definitely an Euro heavy-metal guitarist-quality name there...

Paha Poika

Tuiska Hongisto here. Yes, Fred and I were separated at birth.
The first name is something about snow being here then gone, which pretty well explains where my grey fringe came from.
But "Poika"? Sounds like you're fixin' to boil over.

I have my new name.
It's Bond.
James Bond.
Well, not really. But I like it better than 'Sampo Kettuner'

Steve ... little known fact (unless one has spent 50+ years livin' amongst 'em, & mebbe not even then) is that the letter "P" is pronounced as "B" ... (dunno if they have a "B" in the alphapet) ...

If y'all take that phrase to an adequate translatin' Finnish/English dictionary site, it'll provide some insightfulocityismness ...

Monty Python = Pyry Sinivuokko

Pyry Sinivuokko = Touko Hirvelä

Touko Hirvelä = Väinämö Viljanen

Väinämö Viljanen = Ukko Mesikämmen

This could go on for days. = Ilmari Sinivuokko

Ernie G, we may be brothers!

Helluva Gal

(God isn't finnished with me yet)


Hello Mielikki Lehtinen here!


Mielikki — A woman spirit of the forest

Lehtinen — Leafy

But you may call me Leaf...

My spell check just had a stroke

When you generate your new name, are you finished ?

Otso Pallas. A forest bear in the fjeld.

Takin' a poop are ya there, Otso?

Barry Manilow: Ohto Lahti- A bear. King of the forest who sings bad songs about Cuban nightclubs.
Justin Bieber: Seppo Mansikkamaa- Heroic little twerp in strawberry land who looks like a gecko and sings cr@ppy songs.
Miley Cyrus: Virva Harju. Mysterious will-o'-the-wisp who needs to learn to keep her clothes on and don't even get us started about her twerking.

Khardasian family: Ikipoo hogroup
Honey BOO BOO: Trashiely fatkiid

HAR!!! @ MikeyVA ...!!!

Raili Parviainnen is going to be very surprised to learn her Finnish name is really Lumi Rinne. Her parents are going to be even more surprised!

I entered the name of the woman who scored 5 goals for Finland at the Hockey tournament in Sochi, commonly called the Olympics.

She is now known as Ilmatar Ketonen.

Well done, Cindy! I have a Finnish friend whose last name is Harju. I hope she's not related to Miley Cyrus....

I am Pilvi Virtanen (cloudy river).

Hello, my name is Suvi Joutsen, or "summer swan."

Also translates to "just envious" or "warm menus."

I'm confused.

Roger (Roger!) Federer ----> Terho Vallo (Acorn Light)

Normnuke comes out as JOUKO SAARI.
OK. The first part sounds very Japanese. The second part sounds not very happy about something.

Hey, did I invent the wave? Anyway, Tsunami has a very Finnish lilt to it. Somebody please agree with me.

Tuisku - Snow that has fallen and blown off the ground

Maki - Hill

Nickname: Avalanche

Wes S., we is related... I am Hilla Marjala
Hilla — Cloudberry
Marjala — Home of berries

(This is berry confusing!)
