原I think that the name is a fusion of two cultures. PEKKO was the spirit god of agriculture, especially barley. He made barley to grow, that is why he was considered to be the spirit god of beer in ancient eastern Finland. When Christianity landed in Finland circa 1000 ad. The Greek name PETROS (St. Peter) and PEKKO united into PEKKA. Apostole Peter is called PIETARI in Finnish.
原Yes, but in this case the person commenting IS American. I would find it just as irritating if the person commenting was, let's say, Greek. Or Chinese. Or Nigerian. Or Swedish.
原Why do you assume that the previous poster's are American? Don't you think it's a rash generalization to imply that every ignorant comment made by an English speaker is American?
原For heaven's sake, it's a FINNISH name! Lift your Americocentric eyes away from the glasses that show USA as the only country that counts and English as the only acceptable language! I might giggle at names that sound fun in my mother tongue, but I don't judge them as "horrible" or "impossible" or "names that would be mean to give a child", because that would only be true if the child lived in my home country. Most people on earth don't know a single word of English and do NOT live in America.
原Do you honestly believe any child given this name will escape teasing? It's not a stretch to think of what they will call him or her. A male body part comes to mind.

原I think Pekka is more like a feminine name, because it ends in a.

译 我认为这个名字是两种文化的融合。 PEKKO是农业的精神之神，特别是大麦。他使大麦成长，这就是为什么他被认为是芬兰古芬的啤酒的神灵。当基督教降落在芬兰大约1000广告。希腊名字PETROS（圣彼得）和PEKKO结合到PEKKA。使徒彼得在芬兰称为PIETARI。

译 你为什么认为以前的海报是美国人？你不认为这是一个疯狂的概括，暗示一个英语演讲者做出的每一个无知的评论都是美国人？

译 为了天堂的缘故，这是一个FINNISH的名字！将美国中心的眼睛从眼镜上移开，美国是唯一的国家，英语是唯一可以接受的语言！我可能会嘲笑在我的母语听起来很有趣的名字，但我不认为他们是“可怕的”或“不可能的”或“名字，这将是意味着给孩子”，因为只有当孩子居住在我的祖国。地球上的大多数人不知道一个单词的英语，不住在美国。

译 你真的相信任何孩子给这个名字会逃脱挑逗？这不是一个想法他们会称他们为什么。一个男性身体部分被介意。
