What's in a name?

Finland is a country where nicknames are rife, and Elk's Street has its fair share. Depending on the situation, one might find; Mamitsu, Papitsu, Henkka, Tomppa, Tinna Tanna Topsis, Huomi, and more.

The logic behind some of the names is pretty clear but that behind others more obscure. Mr Fox? Paddington?

Below, some help with encryption.

H-M

Paddington

Or should that be the other way around?
