In one of magazines I saw that Sam Lake was called Sami Yarvi. I'm at a loss.

Yeah, he changed his name in an effort to hide from The Baskinator. images/icons/tongue.gif

Sami Jarvi, but pronounced Yarvi. It means "Sam Lake" in Finnish. His "Sam Lake" name came about as a result of translating his real name into English.

In my ignorance, I always assumed that Sam was an American. graemlins/doh.gif silly me.

"Giuseppi Verdi" translated into an english name is basically "Joe Green"
