Finnish Naming Fail

[kyrasantae]

So at work I've been secretly keeping a little slip of paper with a tally count of how many Finnish names I've seen. They're not that common, and I consider myself decent at picking them out. Only thing is, it's usually very very disappointing, because I might see a Finnish surname, and then the given names will be English. The other day I saw someone named Lehtinen, and he had, I think, three given names. And none of them were Finnish. I mean, seriously, they had THREE chances to get it right and they blew it. SO disappointing.

But finally, today, after 20+ disappointments, there was FINALLY someone with a completely Finnish name. I've already forgotten what the surname was¹, but Kai is a totally awesome first name, because of ...that movie.
