Hella Good
If you're about to give birth to a baby girl you should name her Hella, a proper Icelandic variation on Helga (but Hella sounds hella better than Helga.) This website will give you a few other names too.
But get this. Hella is also the name of a town in Iceland. Irish monks may have lived there a thouand years ago. But I'm not sure if they called it Hella (which sounds like Hell.)
There was also a famous lady born in Estonia who became a big deal in Finland, Hella Wuolijoki . Her career highlights include:
Marrying a friend of Lenin
Suspected of being a spy
Serving on the Finnish Parliament
Directing the Finnish Broadcasting Company
Wrote a play with Bertolt Brecht
Five of her other plays are known as the Niskavuori family saga, and are still performed today. Another one of her plays was the basis for the Oscar winning Hollywood hit The Farmer's Daughter.
