[name_m]Valo[/name_m] is amazing! [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Finlo[/name_m] was my first idea, but it is probably too similar to [name_m]Valo[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] I love [name_m]Eero[/name_m] with him but he is Finnish… some other ideas:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Asa[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Christian[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Anselm[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Anton[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]August[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ragnar[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Auden[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Justus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Levi[/name_m] or just [name_m]Lev[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Mikko[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] (or Oscar) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Pax[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Toivo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Tahvo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Taavi[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Timo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Thilo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Axel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Tor[/name_m]
[name_m]Aalto[/name_m] was my first thought! I also think [name_m]Valo[/name_m] & [name_m]Otso[/name_m] would be really cute, or for something rarer (as far as the popularity of names in Finland go), [name_m]Valo[/name_m] & [name_m]Ruska[/name_m].
I love [name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] Very cute. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]David[/name_m] does feel a bit imbalanced, since David’s much more familiar in [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking countries than [name_m]Valo[/name_m], but if you’re in Finland and they have similar popularity, I think it would be fine! [name_f][/name_f] I like that the V’s tie them together without making them feel too similar. [name_f][/name_f] But I really[name_f][/name_f] like [name_m]Valo[/name_m] and Ansel; [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] feels more usable than [name_m]Anselm[/name_m] which I mentioned in my original post
[name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] would be so cute! [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Folke[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Fjord[/name_m] or [name_m]Ford[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ivar[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_f]Kirby[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Kennet[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and Tryggve [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and Hillervo [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and Rykve [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and Toive [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Crispin[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Haskell[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Alden[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Valo[/name_m] and [name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_m]Valo[/name_m] feel a little mismatched to me (the other being so classic and the other so unusual, but of course if [name_m]David[/name_m] is a name you love, none of that really matters!) I think [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] sounds amazing with [name_m]Valo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- both are a little offbeat and cool but I also really like that they aren’t particularly matchy and sound distinct from each other.
What about [name_m]Ahti[/name_m], the Finnish sea god? [name_m]Light[/name_m] & water… [name_f][/name_f]I also love [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] with [name_m]Valo[/name_m].
I LOOOOOVE [name_m]Valo[/name_m], and seriously considered it for my boy, but it just didn’t feel authentic for us.
[name_f][/name_f]
And while [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] isn’t my style, it does sound SO GOOD with [name_m]Valo[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
Like some of the other berries, I don’t love [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_m]Valo[/name_m] as much together. [name_m]Valo[/name_m] is just so unique and beautiful, while [name_m]David[/name_m] feels a little more plain. But what about [name_m]Davis[/name_m]? I actually LOVE that with [name_m]Valo[/name_m]! [name_m]Just[/name_m] changing that last letter, for me, gives it such a nice and creative spin that balances better with [name_m]Valo[/name_m].
