Box 24 (Unioninkatu 40 B) 00014 University of Helsinki Finland Copyright © by Johanna Virkkula ISBN 978-951-51-0093-1 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-0094-8 (PDF) ISSN-L 0780-3281, ISSN 0780-3281 (Print), ISSN 1799-5779 (Online) Printed by: Unigrafia Summary This study explores reasons for first name choice for children using a survey carried out in two places: Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, and Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The outcomes of the analysis are twofold: reasons for name choice in the two communities are explored, and the application of survey methods to studies of name choice is discussed. The theoretical framework of the study is socio-onomastic, or more precisely socio- anthroponomastic, and the work explores boundaries of social intuition. It is argued that parents’ social intuition – based on rules and norms for name choice in their communities that they may not even be consciously aware of – guides them in choices related to namegiving. A survey instrument was used to collect data on naming choices and the data were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The study explored in detail five themes affecting reasons for name choice. These themes were: tradition and family, international names, aesthetic values and positive meanings, current names and special names. The process of naming is discussed in detail, as are the effects of the parents’ education and the child’s sex on name choice.

  • Elaborating on Finnish-Russian Bilingual Identity in Oral and Written Discourse
    Elaborating on Finnish-Russian Bilingual Identity in Oral and Written Discourse Ekaterina Protassova University of Helsinki 1. Introduction People don’t usually think about who they are until they are provoked to reflect about their identity. Questions about belonging, their origin and their mother tongue can serve as such provocations. At the same time, these reflections can, through social refusal, take on a particular quality for the person in question (e.g. when we tell somebody that he is not a Russian, while he always thought he was). Speaking a language doesn’t necessarily involve any special attitude toward its use until it becomes justified through the situations of its use. It is interesting to follow the ways in which people deal with the emerging self-reconstruction problems of a balanced personality, how they reflect about the meaning of ‘being Russian’, and how they overcome dilemmas and build bridges in order to articulate a fully-fledged self. According to Joseph (2003), the study of language and identity has developed into one of the most dynamic interfaces linking linguistics with anthropology, sociology and psychology. The specific changes in one’s first language due to the linguistic and cultural influence of the environment have also been focused on (e.g. in Clyne 1992; Extra, Verhoeven 1999; Fishman 1989; Haugen 1953; Hyltenstam, Obler 1989; Kouritzin 1999; Seliger, Vago 1991, Waas 1996 and with a special focus on bilingual education in Corson 2001; Cummins 1996; Edwards 1985; Krashen, Biber 1988; Lambert, Freed 1992; Wong Fillmore 1996). The Russian emigration has experienced four waves during the 20th century.

  • Trends in Estonian Nameâœgiving
    Trends in Estonian Name-giving from 1900 to 1945 HILDEGARD MUST THE TRADITIONAL STOCK of Estonian baptismal names of the previous centuries had consisted predominantly of names common to the whole Christian world: they were, for the most part, saints' names. They were mostly in German form because they had been introduced by the Christian Church from Germany and because German cultural influence was strong in the area around the Baltic Sea. Also a number of German names other than saints' names were in use. Only a few names of other nations had been adopted (e.g., a czars' name, Nikolai, the Russian form of the saints' name Nicolaus, enjoyed some popularity in the late 19th century). By the beginning of the present century a reaction against this monotony arose. A new taste in names developed, caused chiefly by internal circumstances, but partly influenced by an increasing love of novelty and by new trends in name-giving developed in other European countries (including Germany). The change in the choice of names was so fundamental that by the middle thirties the stock of Estonian names was completely changed.* The first two decades of the present century were a transitional period in which the declining old tradition in name-giving existed side by side with the emerging new trends which characterize the next decades. A number of names which had been inherited from the previous century - such as Aleksander, Arnold, August, Eduard, Hans, Johannes, Karl, Oskar, Rudolf, Voldemar; Adele, Alide, Alma, Anna, Elfriede, Helene, Hilda, Julie, Marie, and Marta - were still current, but rapidly decreasing in frequency.

  • The Realm of the Forest Finns the Seven Croft Trail Is a 7.9 Km Long Hiking Trail in the Border Country Between Sweden and Norway
    The Seven Croft Trail – a hike through Finnskogen in Hedmark and Värmland Price: SEK 20 torsby.se From the mid-1300s until 1809, what is now Finland formed the eastern half of the kingdom of Sweden. The Savolax region in central Finland was inhabited by forest Finns practising slash-and-burn cultivation techniques. In the 1500s and 1600s, many of them migrated to the forest landscape in mid Sweden and parts of eastern Norway. The reasons for this included overpopulation and a lack of forest areas to cultivate. The State encouraged this method of culti- vation and offered several years’ tax exemption to stimulate settle- ment. Today, Finnskogen (literally, “Forest of the Finns”) is the name of the area on both sides of the Swedish/Norwegian border where many of these Finns settled. Seven crofts, two countries; the realm of the forest Finns The Seven Croft Trail is a 7.9 km long hiking trail in the border country between Sweden and Norway. Lekvattnet in Torsby municipality and Varaldskogen in Kongsvinger municipality meet here. As the name implies, the trail leads past seven crofts, all with forest Finn origins. Here you can find everything from the ruins of Valli croft to Ritamäki, which is perhaps the best preserved forest Finn croft in the whole of Finnskogen. The route takes you through a cross-section of Finnskogen’s natural and cultural land- scapes. The trail generally follows old forest and wagon paths. There are two natural starting points for the Seven Croft Trail: On the Swedish side from the car park at Lomsen lake.

  • Balto-Finnic Personal Name Suffixes Marje Joalaid Estonia
    Marje Joalaid, Estonia 532 Balto-Finnic Personal Name Suffixes Marje Joalaid Estonia Abstract The Balto-Finnic peoples have always formed their personal names using primarily personal name suffixes. After Christianizing, these peoples as most other European peoples have had Christian names: the Orthodox (Greek-Catholic) people (Karelians, Vepsians, Votes and Ingrians or Izhorians) mostly names of Greek origin, the Roman-Catholics (from the 16th century the Lutherans) (Finns, Estonians, Livonians) names of Latin origin. The Balto-Finnic name suffixes occur in the hypocoristic modifications of the Christian names. The most popular and with great probability also the oldest Balto-Finnic name suffix is -oi (-ęi). According to old documents it occurs already in the pre-Christian names. The old Balto-Finnic place name with the suffix -la also consists of a personal name with the suffix -oi before the place name suffix -la. The suffix -oi is originally a diminutive suffix, although it has lost its diminutive character in names. In different Balto-Finnic languages it has preserved its primary phonetic form (in Finnish, Karelian and Ingrian) or it developed phonetically (Votic -oi > -o, Estonian -oi > -o > -u). In addition to -oi there are some other personal name suffixes which occur in different Balto-Finnic languages: -u, the plosive + s (-ts, -ks, -ps) -ne(n), -uk(ka) / -kas, -k(k)i, and others. *** Very little investigation has been done into Balto-Finnic personal names. However, surveys on the Balto-Finnic personal name system were recently published together with studies on the personal name systems of other European peoples (Brendler and Brendler 2007).
