Naming Rules in Finland

Finland's Name Act allows up to four first names. Names must not cause offense or be inappropriate for use as a first name. Gender-specific rules apply: a name traditionally associated with one gender cannot be given to a child of the opposite gender. The Population Register Centre maintains guidelines.
