I buy this, indeed. It is imho really important that users understand that they are indeed choosing a *language* first. For me, "Suomi" definitely sounds like the name of your country (the one that's written everywhere when you watch sports events where Finnish athletes are involved for instance). If you prefer, a good compromise could be using what means "The Finnish language" in Finnish. We could even launch a campaign among translators to converge towards entries meaning "The xxxxx language" rather than "xxxxx" alone.
