I just called a bro of mine in Helsinki to get the right pronunciation. It's like 5 PM there and he was drunk already. "I don't f**king hear from you in almost a f**king year and you f**king call me over some bulls**t fake Suomi name maker? What kind of s**t is that, Mikka?" He wasn't really that upset. One of Janni's favorite things is American profanity.

Väinämö — The poet and wise man in the Finnish epic Kalevala

Petäjä — Pine tree


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

OK, Here is for Martin.
Now, there is another Martin in here, let us see iff His comes to te same thing. :whip: :rotfl:

Ukko Mesikämmen
Ukko — The god of weather and thunder
Mesikämmen — One of many synonyms to bear


So how? Do you pronounce that? "Uh-Oh, Mess a comin?"
:whistle: :rotfl: :dance:

That would be real close, but, thinking, UKKO would be purnounced closer to YUKKO MIGMESSACOMING. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The first entry is a link to the "Finngenerator", which will translate the meaning of your name into Finnish. Try it it's a hoot. My name is Vainaimo Otsola, which translates to a "Famous Hero Bear's Den".
