Sosseres:
Where are you from? That is the most important factor in naming. When my parents named their children they wanted four or less letters in the name.

Teaparty:
How many months old?

YES. epic choices man! this will make sure your kids will be great titsuckers!
but seriously though. i think those are cool names regardless. sounds universal enough too.

anyway as a contrib, i'd say Siegen (male) or Heileen (female).

I've always like Elina for a girl, love it how it flies above the tonque. Aino is another I like, not sure why, it's just good.
Honourable mentions to Mira, Mariko, Natalie and Yuki. Like them, even though the last two aren't finnish.

As for boys haven't really encountered one that would have striked me as AH! that's awesome. Jonathan is nice although not finnish.

Those are just eastern European versions of the names we all know too well, Ekaterina might sound alien to you, but think about it for a second: Catherine in England and US, Catarina in Italy/Spain, Katharine in German and Karin in Scandinavic.

Alexander has just as many variations, and depending on country, not so overused. Alejandro in Spanish, Alessandro in Italian and (I had to google this one) Iskandar in middle east.

As other examples, call someone Joseph in England, in Italy it would be Giuseppe, in Russia it would be Iosif (not Stalin  ;D), in Spain and Mexico: Josè and in middle east Yusuf.
