It's my Name Day

Today it's my Name Day in Finland. I've always loved my name, thank you mom and dad for making an excellent choice! It has just enough unique spelling but it's still easy enough to pronounce for all my non Finnish friends.


"Finland is one of many countries in Europe which celebrates Name Days (called Nimipäivä in Finnish). A country having a tradition for celebrating Name Days normally dedicates a name or names (male and female) to every calendar day of the year. A person then celebrates a Name Day on the day in the calendar where his or her Christian Name Appears. " From finnguide.fi
