Finland is Suomi
English-speakers used 'Dutchland' as a general name for all the continental Germanics - which were all nominally united in the 'Kingdom of Germany' - until the Dutch and Swiss broke off in the 17th century. It shifted to referring to the Netherlands specifically due to the Anglo-Dutch Wars, and so 'German' came into use for remainder of the Germanic HRE in the vein 'Belgian' had once been a catch-all Latinate name for the Low Countries.
Perhaps if the Dutch take the Belgian moniker as more than just a poetic name, or even capture the southern Netherlands, you could have 'Belgium' be the Netherlands and 'Dutchland' refer to Germany.
But note that 'Finnmark' is the Sami populated section of northern Norway. I suspect you'd find that 'Finn' was a generic Norse word for Finnic speakers.Finland was originally the southwestern most part of the country (Area surrounding Turku), which is where the tribe which Sweden called 'Finns' lived. Its only somewhere in the 17th century that Finland started being used about all of modern day Finland, and thats primarily because of that it became titulated as a duchy named after the most important (and just about only heavily urbanized/'swedifized') region in the area
All or part of the Low Countries could be called "Burgundy". Hungary could have finished up as "Avaria" or "Gepidia".
