Ahti boys name, what do you think?

[Mumofsonsx2]

So I'm pregnant with our 2nd son. My partner and I struggle to agree on a name that we both like.

Our first son is called Milo. My partner likes Ahti for our second. I am not 100%. What do you think?? Would be great to hear some opinions.

Thanks!

Arty/Artie would be better I think, unless of course you are from a different culture, then I appologise. 😀

How is it pronounced?

It's new to me, I think I like it if it sounds the way I imagine it.

Do you live in UK? I guess pronunciation might be an issue. He'd be forever known as Artie.

YEah we are in the UK although my partner is French so need a name that works both ways! It would be pronounced 'Ah-tie' so yeah does sound like 'Artie'! It's a Scandinavian name I believe

Farty will be his name through school.

Ahti is a very traditional, old Finnish name, from Finnish mythology:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahti

Its pronunciation in Finnish is similar to Ach-tie (the ‘ch’ similar to Scottish ‘loch’)

I think it’s fine as a name, but I’m not sure I would use it unless you have specific links to Finland...

Kids are cruel, I also think what Tatiana said Farty will be his name through school

Ha, so true. I didn't think of that

Not sure where you get that impression flybabyfly, there isn't a sound like that in Finnish. It would be pronounced closer to Ah-tee.

I assumed it was a typo, came on to see what the actual name was. Looks like someone just picked some random letters and threw them together tbh.

Arthur works in English and French.

Agree with ‘farty’ nickname comment. And if your in London, Arti is a quite popular Indian girls name. My old School friend was always called farty :)

You’re

Sasha, Alexandre, Thomas......

Doesn't sound anything like farty to me. And I always thought it was the name of an important mythological, not just 'a bunch orlf random letters thrown together'...
