How is this known? I thought they did not want anyone to now them other than their band names?

The real names of the band members are known, they're not attempting to be that anonymous. However, they do not wish to appear in the publicity without their monster masks, so very few people know what they really look like. 83.102.82.1 10:58, 21 May 2006 (UTC)t his opin

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

His middle name is Petteri. This has been mentioned a few times in Finnish media, at least in Ilta-Sanomat tabloid newspaper, and 7 Päivää magazine.

Here's the cover of the 7 Päivää magazine, [1], including his picture, which should be uploaded sometime, (before or after the Eurovision song contest?). Tunes 20:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

hey every body relax. tomy is not Lordi! he is the person who created Lordi. this is not my but hi attitude and has been for years. so why is it that if i klik an link to tomi i see a picture of the moter f***ing LORDI? when it should be tomi?

Let's not upload that cover. We're here to create an informative and useful Encyclopedia; we're not here to screw artists over.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 08:53, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Well... If this "article" is titled "Tomi Putaansuu" then it should be mainly about his personal life (life outside the band, Lordi), not his professional life (as member of the band). In that respect I see no reason why people shouldn't post picture of him without the mask. In the other hand, if this article should be about her role character, Mr. Lordi, then the article title is misleading, just like the unsigned comment points out. Monni 09:02, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Understood.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 08:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RM

Oppose. Is known also as Tomi Putaansuu. "Mr Lordi" may become misleading in some cases. Finlandais 10:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment. Like I said "Mr Lordi" is fictious character, a role. You could say the band is kind of theater performance. If he becomes notable as Tomi Putaansuu, then it should be mentioned in own article. He has clearly stated this himself in various interviews. Monni 11:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Oppose. Seems like Tomi Putaansuu is the person's real name, and the article should probably reflect that. --ryos 17:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
