I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I finally found a site that can show you what I'm talking about!
Let's recap: Finns don't name their kids right away or prior to the birth of a child. They have Naming Parties, which are typically tied in with the naming of God parents and the Baptism or Christening.
If you buy a calendar - any kind of calendar or agenda, you'll see little names written in pretty much every square (along with regular holidays etc.).
I didn't use a Finnish calendar this year, because a friend had gifted me with a calendar from Canada so I could be on top of Canadian holidays and so on.
(Canadian calendars are written out from Sunday to Saturday, where as Finnish ones are Monday to Sunday).
Anyways, I've been in the need of a Finnish name calendar as of recently and found this site for you - which demonstrates what I've been talking about before.
Some Finns pick the name that is on the date of the child's birth, some do not.
