I can not find a translation of the word "Vaarainjärvi". Can You, fellow Finns, translate it somehow? :)

@albacoris: I'd be grateful if you could stop using # before any tag you use. We're not making use of these here and I systematically delete them, thanks!

It could mean "lake of many dangers" or "lake of rocky hills" as well :) "Vaarain" is a synonym for raspberry, that's clear enough. But "vaara" is either danger or a rocky hill which is not quite tall enough to be a fell. The "-in" at the end turns this to a plural and something attached to, or associated with something...

Isn't the finnish language fun? :)
