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

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 ...
Posted by: O the U(manity) | March 21, 2014 at 07:01 PM
"least"
Posted by: O the U(manity) | March 21, 2014 at 07:02 PM
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.

I'm Kaleva Harju

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
Posted by: O the U(manity) | March 21, 2014 at 09:11 PM
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.
Posted by: Steve | March 21, 2014 at 10:55 PM
I have my new name.
It's Bond.
James Bond.
Well, not really. But I like it better than 'Sampo Kettuner'
Posted by: JG | March 21, 2014 at 11:17 PM
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 ...

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!

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.
