Otsa G.
(Georg Ots, 1920-1975)
Estonian baritone, beautiful, smooth voice. Born in Petrograd, son of Kaarel Ots, another renowned tenor. Best known for his title role in Rubinstein’s The Demon. And a pretty good swimmer too, winning national championships and breaking records such as the 1939 1500-m freestyle at Nõmme swimming-pool in 23:38:8 mins. The lucky lad has a taxi rank named after him too.
Laikmaa A.
(Ants Laikmaa, 1866-1942)
Painter (known as Hans Laipman until 1935. Estonians have a history of chronic name-changing (see Kassi). Bringer of impressionism to Estonia, one-time lover and perhaps best-known portraitist of the German-educated Marie Under he convinced to start translating/writing her poetry into/in Estonian.
Türnpu K.
(Konstantin Türnpu, 1865-1927)
Born Türnbaum. Renowned conductor of various male choral groups. Capable of playing organ for morning prayer at age eight. A former Old Believer’s Cemetery was located close by, seemingly buried beneath a football pitch.
Tondi 
(Jobst Dunte, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5…)
Disappointingly, not from tont, ghost or specter, as local lore would have it, but after the summer estate (see Mõisa) of Jobst Dunte, which all seems nice and simple, but it’s not. Which Jobst (or Jost) Dunte (or Dunt or Dunten)? There are 5 recorded, leading to this breakdown:
Jobst Dunte 1, (d. 1579) came to Tartu from Hildesheim, Germany, date unknown, married mayor’s daughter, moved to Tallinn, and had 3 sons (suspects in bold):
Gert Dunte (d. 1641), various progeny, including grandson:
Jobst Dunte 4 (c. 1635-1697), Tallinn alderman (raehärra, some say ‘Mayor’) in 1670 and 1688-1696, landowner and trader, after whom Tondi Sub-district is said to be named. May once have lived at Viru tänav 20
Hans Dunte (1565-1641), moved to Riga so out of the story
Jobst Dunte 2 (1569-1615), Tallinn alderman, Rector of Niguliste church, member (?) of the ‘Mustpea’, Brotherhood of St. Maurice, or Blackheads (see Jüriöö), probably referred to as d. Ä., i.e. der Ältere (the Elder), although it could also be his father, had 3 sons:
Jobst Dunte 3 (d. 1624(?) or 1637), merchant, received Keila Mõis outside Tallinn as fief from King Gustaf II Adolf in 1630, sons knighted and ennobled in Sweden. Recruited craftsmen from Germany for church ornamentation. At times confused with this father.
Ludwig Dunte (1597-1639), clergyman, spoke 9 or 10 languages, churchmen offspring
Hans Dunte (d. 1640), various descendents including (grandson?):
Jobst Dunte 5 (1670-1710), Tallinn alderman (some say ‘Mayor’), said to be founder of Dunteni Suvemõis (see Dunteni) in Tondi.
Two candidates for both Tondi asum and Tondi tänav are often seen: 1) Jobst Dunte 4 of c. 1635-1697; and 2) Jobst Dunte 5 of 1670-1710. No clear candidate for Tondiraba. On the night of 1625-06-28/29, a fire in Viru tänav damaged (destroyed?) the house of a Jobst Dunte who, or whose son, later donated bells to Oleviste church in 1671 and 1694. While the donation dates coincide well enough with celebrations for JD4’s mayorship, he's too late for the fire, unless it refers to his son? To conclude: very little unequivocal data to confirm exactly who is who, and all-round confusion. Did I mention a breakdown? Given the inconsistency in dates, there may even have been a Jobst Dunte 6...
Getting back to ‘ghosts’, , although Estonians tend to translate tont (see Vaimu) as above, historically, it was more a house fairy, generally evil, often used as bogeyman for children, while its Swedish ancestor, tomte, was more benign. The more usual term for ghost is kummitus as in Estonia’s favorite tongue-twister: Kummikutes kummitus kummitas kummutis (ask someone to explain). Soviet occupation renaming (1950-1990): Matrossovi A..
