Curiosity piqued. Please explain!
It's the Finnish pronounciation
Cool! My aunt is "Anne" pronounced the Finnish way (because she is Finnish). I always am confused at first sight of her name because I also have an Aunt Anne whose name is not Finnish, but obviously they are spelled the same. :P

It must just be that my uncle is awesome for marrying a Finnish woman? And she is pretty awesome, too. Or maybe I'm awesome? Maybe everyone is awesome once you get to know them? Oh man, so many questions.

WAIT, why are YOU so awesome to have a Finnish middle name??

I started counting how many people I know or have met who have names from that list, and had to stop at 30 because my head was going to explode.
