Reply to comment by greatgildersleeve in TIL that Simo Häyhä AKA the sniper White Death kept a Winter War diary, that was discovered in 2017 from his nephew's drawer, when a local museum was looking for memorabilia for an exhibition on Häyhä by Nopatme

That's actually very common in Finland and even more than 2 isn't rare. But I can say that 40% (2/5) is a bit much, even by local standards. ;)

I checked if there are any Häyhäkäinen in Finland for more Ä's but no only Häyhänens besides Häyhäs apparently.

Hmm this gives me ideas. Löylyläinen? Hölmäkääpä? Köljönhöyry? Ryönämöinen? Vääräkääpä? So many possibilites for when I change my surname as an old man.
