So, my friend just told me that in genshin impact, there is a place called Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya, that has a lot of characters plus places with finnish names. I went to investigate the fandom page and oh my god it's the best thing ive read in a while.
There's representation of finnish folklore which is like, yummy yum yum gimme, but also the names of some of the npc have made me snort so loud my brother side eyed me.
So, i made a list of my favorite names that i found on the scale of 1-10 with: (how bad they would be irl/ how fucking funny they are to me) and what they actually mean
Literally means "a painting". They did that lil guy dirty
I hope that's their last name, cuz it means "hundred foot", which is still bad but not as bad as it would be as your first name
Means "loaf". Again, as a first name bad, as a last name ight
Literally means "rolled". To where???
Okay so, "Pekka" is a finnish guy name, and the "ni" at the end means that the thing is yours(don't ask, finnish is weird). So that name literally means "my Pekka"
Means "honeyless". Ight last name, a terrible first name even if i can kind of see the vision...
Means "cloudberry berry". Its not that bad but the berry was unnecessary
Means "rich". Sounds a bit cocky unless they're a merchant
Means "to bloom". Not bad, just kinda weird in finnish
Means "fox". Amazing if their a thief, meh if not
Means "sap" an alright name, just uncommon
Okay, so this is basicly a normal finnish name, but they wrote it wrong cuz the o is supposed to be Ăś, so it just funny to read it like that
Badass name, but they gave the name of the most known sea monster/primordial being/the illness demon in finnish folklore to this little guy
(EDIT: found out about this guys lore and they slays with that name, 10/10 name love them<3)
Again not bad at all, but its a name derived from the NATIONAL EPIC, my guy and you give it to an npc?
Means "coniferous". Could be better but a slay unisex name
Basic name, but its funny cuz Gladstone Gander is called Hannu Hanhi in finnish
Literally means "Bad isle" which is really funny to me. I don't play genshin but ill assume shit will go down there
