Google trends show that term is only usedi n Finish (not shared in danish like many words).

Markits is right, ö and ä can be regged as Danish.
However, let me tell you why .org is not widely used in Finland and not generally a good choice:
To speak Finnish, all words must end with a vowel. If the vowel is missing from the end of a word, e.g. a foreign word, an i will be added. That makes .org domains become .orgi in the spoken sense, which can be perceived to sound like Orgy. Think about the radio test, old ladies, etc...
Take my word for it, dot orgs are hardly used by Finns. You may find a few exceptions though for sex related terms, etc. Or the other case is where people reg something to keep it away from the competition, but even this is rare.
So if your term is not sexual related, then I would drop it for credit.
