I'd go for either Karhu, Sisu, or Toivo (as in, I hope I can figure this language out!).

I have tentatively set the team's name and motto to Sisu and Tyvestä puuhun noustaan respectively as mentioned here.
There's still a bit of time left for suggestions on the name or motto.

Sounds good to me!
My holidays start on Monday evening, so I shall start slowly going through Assimil, and
hopefully start seeing some progress with my Finnish. I don't expect to accomplish that
much until at least February.

As my study efforts in 2014 will form part of the team's "output", I will reveal in brief my plans for studying Finnish.
I plan to continue working with "Finnish for Foreigners" and should finish the first volume in January as I'm on the second last chapter. I then expect to move onto the second volume but given the greater focus there on Finnish for writing purposes, I'll need to use other sources to help with listening and speaking. I already have a couple of ideas in mind, as noted here. There's a good chance that I'll go to Finland in 2014 but it's competing with other places for my annual allotment for paid vacation.
I will be quite busy in the rest of the winter and don't expect to be able to study as much as I have in the previous two years. This also means that updating my log as frequently as I have recently doesn't seem likely in the upcoming weeks.

The team name and such sounds good to me. I would have suggested some but I've been on holiday with little to no internet access so, needless to say, my studies have also taken a hit. I'm back now and also have a new weapon in my kindle, already armed with several Finnish resources.
I'm still going to be using Suomen mestari as my prime resource, however this may change once I've had a better look at some of my newer stuff.
While I'm here I may as well say it: Hyvää Uutta vuotta kaikille!

Sisu is a great name!! I'd love to be an observer for now, and I hope to upgrade to full member once I get more time.
I studied Finnish for a month or so last year but got sidetracked with life, so I'm still a beginner (probably not even
A1, after forgetting so much).
