How about?

I don't know Finnish naming conventions.

Ah thanks. That's the smiley .

! Well it's easy. If you know a name that you know to be swedish, it definetly isn't finnish . Okay that's not entirely true, but it's close at least .

I know it wouldn't be Sven. I'm just having some fun with you. At least I hope I gave you a chuckle.

Sweden, Finland, Norway, it's all the same for us, people from the South.
We call it "Europa del Norte", and in our heads it creates images of vikings with horned-helmets, beer, pretty huge-breathed blond girls and six-months-a-year nights...

Is this how Mika is pronounced? http://www.sci.fi/~kajun/finns/Samples/mika.wav

That's more like it. It's just that the names are way different from eachother. Otherwise, even if I hate to admit it, we are very much alike ...

My character in Harnmaster is a Viking and his name is Olaf. Last night I called him Olaf the Stout. The GM liked it so much it stuck. I realized there were a couple of sources where I heard that name today. Olaf the Stout the ENW memeber, Olaf the Stout the character from WoW and The Lost Vikings.

Could be. I have no way of checking it now since my work 'puter doesn't have sound-output .

You know. One place where you might pick up finnish names is Icewind Dale 2. There was a whole village that was named with finnish names .

That's cool. I haven't played that in a long time. I don't think I noticed the names.
