So many unisex names. I can hardly think of any in my mother tongue (even though we don´t have grammatical gender either  -  if these things can be connected, maybe not). Just like there is a deeper meaning in this. Who knows?

I came out with one explanation. In Finland they are forbidden. A person´s name must have a male or female flavor.

Abla, just out of interest, are you male or female ? : )

Why dont you look up what "abla" means in Turkish?

Are they forbidden ? But why? It doesnt make any sense and actually comic.

Dont worry !.....No more names in the next century, only code numbers. 

Yes, I even checked it now. It is not allowed in F to give a female name to a male and vice versa.

That´s why your unisex names are frankly speaking so komik.

This paragraph of law sounds old-fashioned, though. If a person moves into the country and his name doesn´t ring any bell in Finnish ears we cannot tell him to go back and change his name. And person identity code reveals the gender anyway to whom it may concern.
