Joki is river and jokela is 'dwelling by the river' or 'the one from the river'. Jokela is also the name of the town, where a horrible school shooting took place.

[involuntary shiver] Oh no - it was there. I didn't remember the name of the place.

Can't say I'll be using that name.[/shiver]

They all suck? Ok, Berry Creek does sound like some odd J-pop band, but the rest, with a natives ears and eyes, seem like good and quite beautiful names Big Grin

When it comes to name generators, and names in general, I'm very picky. Probably because I don't like my real name.

And when I mean they all suck, I mean that none of the names I got both had interesting meanings and sounded cool.

Berry creek is interesting, but Marja Puro isn't.
Kukka Kallio is fun but "flower rock" is gibberish
Suvi Mannisto sounds like something you do to food, and "summer home of pine trees" sounds like where the Ents vacation.

Alli Jarvi is the one I like the most of the ones generated for me, but only if Alli is pronounced like Muhammed Ali thus creating an alliterating name, but I don't think that's how you're supposed to pronounce it.

I'm hard to please when it comes to names. Tongue

Yeah, it's pronounced uhl-lee Wink
