ppl prob already know this, but i just found out where Children of Bodom got their name from (yay wiki):
Lake Bodom (Bodominjärvi in Finnish) is a lake in Finland located on the suburbs of the city of Espoo, not far from Helsinki (60°12'34.92"N - 24°30'42.99"E). The lake measures approximately three kilometers in length and one kilometer in width.
The lake is notorious for murders that occurred on the night of the fourth of June of 1960, when four teenagers (two boys, Nils Gustafsson and Seppo Boisman and two girls, Tuulikki Mäki and Irmeli Björklund) went on a camping trip to the lake and were mysteriously attacked while sleeping in their tent. Three of them were slaughtered and one survived. This event is commonly referred to as the Lake Bodom murders. In June, 2005 the only survivor, Nils Gustafsson, was charged with murdering his friends. On October 7, 2005 the district court found him not guilty on all the charges laid against him.
The increasingly popular metal band Children of Bodom, who are also from Espoo, took their name from these murders.
