Nope, they did 0 research for that character overall
No.
Haven’t even heard of such a name, so i’d dare to say no.
It’s not only not a popular name, it’s not a name at all. American movies and shows (especially comedies) generally do a *terrible* job at anything Finland-related. The names, accents, and cultural references are usually way off. It’s kinda sad because there’s plenty of things about Finland, Finns, and the Finnish language/accent that could be very funny while also being accurate.
Rava carachter is really far from an actual Finn and I really don’t understand why Finnish accent is always portraited as Russian or Ukranian….
No. In *Fleabag*, there was a Finnish character called Klare, which isn’t a real name, either. In *Veep*, there was a Minna Häkkinen, which is a real name, but they mispronounced the last name as hucky-nen when it should be more like hacky-nen.
Raava is the name of the light spirit in Legend of Korra if that helps.

Not a Finnish name, but you can check names in the [DVV service](https://verkkopalvelu.vrk.fi/Nimipalvelu/default.asp?L=3).
