I don't think they are really that reliable. Ideally we'd have a written record somewhere. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 09:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Vuorenalainen

Supposed Finnish surname. For the record, at least this time, I'll accept any reputable reference to a single person with this surname. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 09:33, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Surjection: Seems to be just the Finnish translation for the "King under (or beneath) the mountains" from Hobbit. ——Chalk19 (talk) 12:11, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

What about this [1]? The surname may not be used any longer but it certainly has been. --Hekaheka (talk) 22:34, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

It is also used as placename [2]. --Hekaheka (talk) 22:38, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

I stated on the talk page that I wouldn't really hold these general-purpose genealogical databases to be reliable sources for whether a surname exists. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 18:57, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Here's a newspaper article featuring one living Vuorenalainen[3] --Hekaheka (talk) 22:12, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Seems to exist, after all [4], although it must be a (very) rare surname. ——Chalk19 (talk) 21:56, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Alright, whatever. RFD-withdrawn/passed. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 18:58, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
