As a native speaker of a Scandianvian language, I'd like to make it clear that Aarne Arvonen is not a translation/transliteration of Årne Arvonen. In Finnish, the usage of the same vowel twice in a row is very common. So his birth name is Aarne (In English, we have a similar name in Aaron). Personally, knowing that "å" sounds like the "o" in the word "cold", I've never understood why "aa" is considered an acceptable official replacement for the letter.
