Opinion on Finnish name

It's a good name, but native English speakers are probably going to pronounce it as "sattuu", which means "it hurts". :D

Oh 😅 that can indeed be unfortunate haha. Luckily English is a minor concern - neither any of us nor our families are native English speakers (and we don't live in an English speaking country).

Oh yeah in Polish it could work (though I still personally do not like the name Erkki at all haha.) In English it would be a disaster! Kirsikka is a nice name in theory, but it doesn't really read as a human name to me. Maybe a cat or a cow. Sorry again lol.

Yea Kirsikka and Erkki weren't top picks for us anyways because of my husband's background. His language would mispronounce both names - different r and double consonant shortened to a single one which to me is already too far off from the proper Finnish pronounciation. I'm a fan of remaining close to the original. If you have to butcher it, choose something else.
