"Oi Ukko, ylijumala tahi taatto taivahinen,
vallan pilvissä pitävä, hattarojen hallitsija:
vihmo vettä taivosesta, mettä pilvistä pirota,
orahille nouseville, touoille tohiseville."
Sorry, couldn't help it :) I've been going through Finnish mythology for the past few days, trying to help my brother + sister-in-law to find good baby names. My favourite at the moment is Salama (or Salama Mies), but I know already, that they are not accepting it... Shame, it's such a cool name :)
what does it mean? i don't know finnish mythology. american education is sorely lacking. see? i didn't even capitalize the first words of my sentences!
Salama = flash/lightning
Mies = man
They both are used as first names here. (I didn't know that Salama was, must be very rare). But it would be such a strong super-hero name for a baby boy :) On the other hand, I think they are going to have a girl... I just can't wait another 4 months for him/her to arrive !!!
I dunno if I'd name my kid "Man" - might as well just name the kid "Dude" :P
Flash does have that "Incredibles" ring to it, or like Flash Gordon.
I guess if you're suggesting Kalevala names, then "Aino" is quite pretty.
I want kids, so I can pick names too. Like "Puolukka" or "Kaneliomena", hehehe.
Sorry, in a silly mood.
Oh, Puolukka=Cranberry; Kaneliomena=Cinnamon-apple.
They have a name for a girl (and they are not telling it = trying to drive me nuts, I suppose. Sounds just like my brother, or what ? *heheh*).
Puolukka = cowberry/lingonberry
Karpalo = cranberry
I have a long weekend off from work = super !!! I'm going to Tuska-festival, let's hope that it doesn't rain this weekend. At the moment it looks like that we might have a thunder storm here tonight...
I like the name Guido...
Ok Mophia, you just cinched it - we're never having a kid together :P
I think Puolukka is a really cute name!
Although, my kids are gonna be named something celtic/elvish sounding.
Finn is a good first name. Bad joke, I know, but I'm having a festival-anxiety. This weekend is going to be full of bad jokes, I just have to warm-up myself a bit :)
It is such a shame that Kari + Elviira moved away from Käpylä; now we can't start our festival mornings the same way as last year = pizza and Elviira's super-yummy strawberry-margaritas...
Ooh, I could murder a margarita right about now. I know a place in Delaware, Katja, where on Thursdays the margaritas are $2.75! What do you say we go October :P
And Finn is a good name - that's your son-to-be's name, right? Good Irish name: Finn MacCool.
I know, I hate Finnish jokes too. "Oh really, you're finished, haha, never heard THAT one before", gah :P
Have a fun time at the Festival of Pain - don't tell me, is Lordi performing?
No, Lordi is not performing. There actually isn't any bands that I'd really like to see, but it's always cool to have a festival in the middle of Helsinki and hang-out with your friends.
I always get the bad Finnish jokes from the immigration people, when arriving to US. But I'm happy to be "finished"; it would be horrible to be a Swede :) Although Swede casserole is good...
